Preparation for Criticism and Others

About This Novel

This book is the latest revised version of Zhang Dinghao's first collection of literary essays "Preparation for Criticism" published in 2015. The author replaced one-third of the original book to reorganize his literary theory writing of more than ten years to express his basic understanding of contemporary literature and literary criticism. Although most of the articles focus on a specific work published that year, what they ultimately talk about are the universal issues felt from these specific works. He believes that in the contemporary literary criticism scene where everyone is struggling alone and seems to be at a loss what to do, accuracy is the most relevant moral law. It first means talking about the work "as it is", and to achieve this goal, it is necessary to constantly doubt, verify, express, reflect on existing experience, and finally obtain a holistic judgment. Only in this way can criticism no longer be an intellectual game for critics, but can face ordinary readers; can it no longer be reduced to a appendage of literary creation and the appendix of knowledge, but truly become an exciting undertaking; can it start from here and now and try to understand the human emotions and creations that have existed in the past.
