Smiley gives us very interesting views of how to understand what novels are like, and how they got to be what they are today. (

Quite disappointing. (

I read the introduction and thoroughly skimmed the 101 snapshots. ?�I have no idea why one would care about Smiley's musings on either novels in general, or on the 100 novels she read, unless one were a huge fan of the author and wanted to read everything she wrote. ?Ã¡Otherwise this seems like self-absorbed claptrap, as the saying goes. ?Ã¡I have not managed to read anything by Smiley, even though I have tried a couple of times. ?Ã¡I've also read, erm, maybe 4 of the books in that 101 list... and her notes did not encourage me to read any others. ?Ã¡My one-word reaction: :gag:"

ymmv" (

It's not easy reading but is useful for English majors who want a refresher so they don't forget everything they learned. It was long and her review of essential novels starts at the half way mark of the book. The novels she chose are straight from my undergrad syllabus. It was nice to get another take on their significance and to hear her intelligent analysis. (

Epígrafe

Información procedente del conocimiento común inglés. Edita para encontrar en tu idioma.

We are not told of things that happened to specific people exactly as they happened; but the beginning is when there are good things and bad things, things that happen in this life which one never tires of seeing and hearing about, things which one cannot bear not to tell of and must pass on for all generations. If the storyteller wishes to speak well, then he chooses the good things; and if he wishes to hold the reader's attention he chooses bad things, extraordinarily bad things. Good things and bad things alike, they are the things of this world and no other. -- Murasaki Shikibu, The Tale of Genji
