THE ART OF SLOW WRITING: REFLECTIONS ON TIME, CRAFT, AND CREATIVITY
Book ID/图书代码： 02740014B74250
English Summary/英文概要： In a series of conversational observations and meditations on the writing process, The Art of Slow Writing examines the benefits of writing slowly. DeSalvo advises her readers to explore their creative process on deeper levels by getting to know themselves and their stories more fully over a longer period of time. She writes in the same supportive manner that encourages her students, using the slow writing process to help them explore the complexities of craft. The Art of Slow Writing is the antidote to self-help books that preach the idea of fast-writing, finishing a novel a year, and quick revisions. DeSalvo makes a case that more mature writing often develops over a longer period of time and offers tips and techniques to train the creative process in this new experience.
DeSalvo describes the work habits of successful writers (among them, Nobel Prize laureates) so that readers can use the information provided to develop their identity as writers and transform their writing lives. It includes anecdotes from classic American and international writers such as John Steinbeck, Henry Miller, Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence as well as contemporary authors such as Michael Chabon, Junot Diaz, Jeffrey Eugenides, Ian McEwan, and Salman Rushdie. DeSalvo skillfully and gently guides writers to not only start their work, but immerse themselves fully in the process and create texts they will treasure.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《慢写的艺术》通过一系列对话观察和思考审视了慢写的好处。笛莎福建议她的读者们通过一个阶段的深思熟虑，更加了解他们自己和他们要写作的故事本身从而使自己的作品能达到一个更深的层次。笛莎福自己写作的时候采用的也是同样的方法，并以此鼓励自己的学生用慢写来探索写作技巧的复杂性。《慢写的艺术》对一些自助书籍中提倡的加快写作进程，一年内完成一部小说，快速修正等观点提出了相反的意见。她提出许多成熟的写作作品往往需要长时间的改进，并给予了许多贴士和技巧来训练这种创意写作的过程。
笛莎福举了几个成功应用该方法的作家（其中包括诺贝尔获奖得主），读者也可以从中习得一些方法来改进自己的写作方法。书中包括美国大作家和国际作家，例如约翰•斯坦贝克、亨利•米勒、弗吉尼亚•沃尔夫和D.H.劳伦斯，当然也包括一些现代作家，例如迈克尔•查伯、 朱诺•迪亚斯、杰弗里•尤金尼德斯、伊恩•麦克尤恩和萨尔曼•拉什迪等。笛莎福巧妙地引导读者开始自己的写作工作，并获得长足的进步。（XAT）

"Leavened by her own elegant and energetic prose, The Art of Slow Writing distills the wisdom of long experience. Whether in the classroom or on the page, DeSalvo is that rare teacher who is both exacting and inspiring."—Kathryn Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of Enchantments, The Kiss, and The Binding Chair
"I want to hand a copy of Slow Writing to every writer I know and every writer I don’t know. This book is a gift. Its insights are unparalleled. Louise DeSalvo takes the reader on a joyful, unforgettable journey of reflection and pathos. I can’t thank DeSalvo enough for writing this wise, accessible yet intensely researched master meditation on writing. Read it more than once-- the first time for pleasure and many more times for its invaluable insights into the craft."—Margaux Fragoso, author of Tiger, Tiger: A Memoir
"In this wise and insightful book, Louise DeSalvo draws from her own rich experience - as well as from that a variety of writers - to make the persuasive case that good writing takes time. As I read, I found myself underlining, dog-earing pages, writing notes in the margin, inspired by DeSalvo’s passion and focus. Deep immersion in the process of writing, she says, yields results that surprise and delight us; our work is stronger, more nuanced, and more compelling. The Art Of Slow Writing is a welcome reminder that in this fast-paced world, some things should not be rushed."—Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train
"DeSalvo turns what might have been an exercise in navel-gazing into a lively and inspiring guide for writers of all stripes. Buy two copies—the first will quickly sprout dog-ears."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
