Recenzii
Writing Speculative Fiction is permeated by an upbeat and playful tone that is entertaining and motivating. It is an informative and enjoyable read that will serve as a valuable resource for creative writing students and their teachers, and indeed anyone interested in the mechanics of writing and publishing dynamic and engaging speculative fiction. The book is packed with helpful advice for writers of any genre - covering diverse topics such as form, characterisation, voice, plotting, poetic expression, research, establishing a writing practice with discipline, and discerning reputable online publishing markets.
As a book it is quite comfortable setting the writing of speculative fiction within the broader approaches to writing and linking those back to the giants of speculative writing over the last half-century or more. It is a concise and well-structured book that gently leads readers through the basics, while at every stage addressing its topic with appropriate examples, and exercises.
This is an exciting book from a writer who knows how to enliven her prose with ideas, analysis, anecdotes and stunning quotations from her deep and wide reading. The compelling beauty of this book is the way it moves between ideas and stories, between analysis and narrative.
The insights are often provocative and always useful. It sensibly focuses on how a writer can approach the idea of speculative fiction, and then brings in a critical perspective.
Indispensable, rich and enabling: no writer of speculative fiction should be without this book. Obligatory reading for students of creative writing. Working from examples and providing easy-to-use analytical tools, Writing Speculative Fiction provides essential reading for anyone involved in the creation or consumption of speculative fiction in its many guises . This is a generous offering, relaying well-researched advice leavened with encouragement and a gentle, wry humour.
As boundaries between genres increasingly break down, editors and educators need to put aside genre cringe and assumptions of genre limitations. Writing Speculative Fiction comes as a timely and valuable addition to the bookshelves of students, writers and educators alike. Writing Speculative Fiction is a valuable addition to writers at any stage of development. Bacon delivers practical information, stimulating exercises and thought-provoking analyses with enthusiasm and authority.
Eugen Bacon's book offers a paradox that is extraordinarily liberating. On the one hand it provides carefully researched, nuanced distinctions between fantasy, science fiction, horror and paranormal genres and their sub-genres to include fairy tales, dark fantasy, myths and legends, and magical realism, for example. On the other it embraces speculative fiction as an umbrella for bending traditional genre fiction, crossing into hybrids, or cross-genre forms rich with playful text that is also literary.
Writing Speculative Fiction is Eugen Bacon's new and exciting non-fiction stroke of genius. The book explores creative and critical approaches to writing speculative fiction. But, regardless of your preferred genre, if you're an aspiring writer of any style this impressive guide is for you!
Eugen Bacon weaves together extracts from a variety of creative texts, commentary about storytelling, and anecdotes from her experiences as a teacher of creative writing to build a palatable, engaging, and endlessly useful guidebook.
Writing Speculative Fiction is a resource worth revisiting again and again. It is a book designed for notetaking, highlighting, and dog-earing pages - the perfect companion for any writer of speculative fiction
