What happens within us when we read a novel? And how does a novel create its unique effects, so distinct from those of a painting, a film, or a poem? In this inspired, thoughtful, deeply personal book, Orhan Pamuk takes us into the worlds of the writer and the reader, revealing their intimate connections.
Pamuk draws on Friedrich Schiller's famous distinction between "naive" poets--who write spontaneously, serenely, unselfconsciously--and "sentimental" poets: those who are reflective, emotional, questioning, and alive to the artifice of the written word. Harking back to the beloved novels of his youth and ranging through the work of such writers as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Stendhal, Flaubert, Proust, Mann, and Naipaul, he explores the oscillation between the naive and the reflective, and the search for an equilibrium, that lie at the center of the novelist's craft. He ponders the novel's visual and sensual power--its ability to conjure landscapes so vivid they can make the here-and-now fade away. In the course of this exploration, he considers the elements of character, plot, time, and setting that compose the "sweet illusion" of the fictional world.
Anyone who has known the pleasure of becoming immersed in a novel will enjoy, and learn from, this perceptive book by one of the modern masters of the art.

足够真诚，足够个人。但例子少了些，安娜读书的片段，反复出现，如果能多一些具体分析，就更好了。

很真诚的一本书，在阅读的时候，不断地怀着私心地思考着建筑和小说之间的类似，直到最后，发现无论有多少技法，思想上的相似，最为本质的还是创作的冲动。非常有个人色彩的一本书。

力薦！給小說家，批評家，所有對小說是怎樣寫成的（應該說，是好小說是怎樣寫成的）感興趣的讀者。比他的深厚的理論素養更重要的是，帕慕克對經典和經典理論有獨到的洞見。

我们为什么读小说，怎么读又怎么创作，帕慕克的语言还是一样的流畅明快。伊斯坦布尔拥挤阁楼里藏在壁柜旧照片后面的玻璃杯，上面覆盖着的一层时代的灰尘，对我来说是一个隐喻贯穿了他所有的小说的"center"。
