Plot Twist: Life, Craft, and the Messy First Draft

內容簡介

內容簡介 「對於抱有作家夢的人來說，哈蘭的建議、故事與軼事既明智、經得起考驗又極具價值。而對已出版作品的作者而言，他的書則能喚起當年創作時的回憶。這是一本讀起來暢快、熱鬧且令人愉悅的作品。」—— 約翰·葛里遜（John Grisham）在《Plot Twist》科本深入挖掘自己郊區童年的回憶，以及早期試圖打入出版界的心路歷程，首次講述了他自己的故事。他不僅揭密某些最受喜愛角色的現實靈感來源，也公開了推動他那些節奏強勁的小說背後的創新情節。書中充滿了關於創作過程的實用技巧與心法。科本摒棄了傳統的寫作「分類」——角色、情節、背景等——轉而以整體的視野來審視整個創作過程。《Plot Twist》是一堂關於「如何成為一名作家」以及隨之而來的一切的大師課：自我懷疑、自負、矛盾、熱情與奉獻。歸根結底，他的計算方式非常簡單：「如果能幫我寫出頁數，那就是好的；如果不能，那就是壞的。」這本書將幫助每一位心懷夢想的創作者產出篇幅。這本書真誠、幽默、深刻，有時又極具感染力，既是一本引人入勝的回憶錄，也是任何想要向我們最受喜愛的作家之一學習說故事藝術的人必讀的權威指南。#1 New York Times bestselling author Harlan Coben offers a look behind the curtain at his own writing process in an inspiring, candid memoir filled with indispensable insights and techniques.“For aspiring writers, Harlan’s advice, stories, and anecdotes are wise, proven, and valuable. For published authors, his book evokes memories of what it was like back then. It’s a romp, a riot, and a joy to read.” ―John GrishamWith 100 million books in print world-wide and over twenty blockbuster television and film adaptations of his work, Harlan Coben has much to teach us about the creative process. Part deeply personal memoir, part masterclass in storytelling, Plot Twist is a refreshingly honest look at the life of a writer whose stories have thrilled us for decades.Plumbing memories from his suburban childhood and his early years trying to break into publishing, Coben tells his own story for the first time, revealing the real-world inspirations for some of his most beloved characters as well as the innovative plots that drive his propulsive novels. Filled with useful tips and techniques on the creative process, Coben does away with the traditional "categories" of writing―characters, plot, setting, etc―and looks at the process holistically.Plot Twist is a masterclass on the act of being a writer, and everything that comes with it: the self-doubt, the hubris, the contradictions, the passion and dedication. At the end of the day, his calculus is a simple one: “If it helps me produce pages, good. If it doesn’t, bad.” This book will help every aspiring writer produce pages.Honest, funny, insightful, and at times deeply moving, this is both a captivating memoir and an essential guide for anyone looking to master the art of storytelling from one of our most beloved authors.
