Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 49 What is a good work
The cultural salon of "Times" is basically similar to the general cultural salons, where some cultural figures exchange their writing experiences and feelings about the books they read. During this process, some people also took out works that they thought were proud of, and then asked others to correct them.
It is said to be correct, but it also means to show off. I just want you to see how well I write and how fluently I write.
As a columnist for Time Magazine, Bogut was praised by many writers at this time, and some writers even called him "teacher". This made him instantly feel light and fluttering.
Because Kevin is relatively young, many writers did not communicate with him too much, but just greeted each other out of politeness. Just when Kevin thought he would pass this cultural salon in silence, Bogut suddenly asked Kevin: "Kevin, have you read James' "Leaf Dialogue"? Can you share it with us? How do you feel about reading this book? I think if you can become a columnist for Time Magazine, you must have read James’ works.”
Bogut's words were intended to test Kevin, and he thought to himself: Hmph! Aren't you awesome? I'd like to see how your opinion differs from the average person's.
"Sorry, I haven't seen this work. Oh, maybe I should check it out when I have time." Kevin said truthfully.
Most of Kevin's mind is full of the masterpieces of the great writers on Earth, and he has never read most of the literary works in this parallel world. After all, he was a lazy guy before, and he didn't like literature either.
"What? You haven't read Leaf's Dialogue by James? Do you know that "Leaf's Dialogue" is one of James' classic masterpieces." Bogut was surprised.
Bogut wanted to test Kyle's views on literary works, but he didn't expect that Kevin hadn't even read the representative works of the famous James. This disappointed him greatly.
Not only Bogut, but other writers were also surprised to hear Kevin say this. As a writer, I haven't even read James's "Leaf's Dialogue", which is really unreasonable.
The same is true for Wall. When Bogut asked Kevin, he thought Kevin would have some amazing comments, but now he also looks a little embarrassed.
James' achievements in English literature in this parallel world are very high, and he is also known as "the second Shakespeare". He has written countless classic works in his life and is one of the greatest philosophers and writers in Britain.
"Leaf's Dialogue" is the representative work of the peak moment of literature in his life. The book uses the way of leaf dialogue to explain life, ideals, love, and gender.
Literary lovers generally have read James's work, and of course they can be forgiven if they haven't. However, as a writer, Kevin has never read such a classic work, which makes people feel a little disappointed.
"Sorry, everyone, I really haven't seen James' works. Maybe I'm ignorant, but I think I'll buy it when I find time." Kevin said again.
Kevin really hasn't seen this work, and he doesn't want to slap his face to pretend to be fat. Besides, "Leaf's Dialogue" is not a work on earth, if it is, he can still give a general idea based on the literary memory system in his mind.
As soon as these words came out, many writers at the scene shook their heads, and some even thought that Wall's invitation to Kevin was a little perfunctory.
After all, this cultural salon is attended by influential works of Time Magazine.
Hearing Kevin's exact answer, Bogut felt even more convinced that Kevin was a young man with a name in vain. He thought deeply in his heart that maybe Kevin just wrote one or two good works by relying on a certain moment of talent. Doesn't have the potential to be a great writer.
"James's "Leaf's Dialogue" is such a classic, you haven't even read it. I really doubt how much depth you can write. After all, you are so young and have not experienced anything." Bogut hit.
"But everyone, literature doesn't need to be read to write well, it doesn't need to experience to write well. Isn't it? In the UK, there are many people who have read "Dialogue of the Leaf". Do they all take it for granted? Have you become a writer? You have never been to the sky to see the colorful clouds and clouds, does that mean you can’t write about their beauty?” Kevin said neither humble nor overbearing.
After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that what Kevin said made sense. But no matter what, they always felt that Kevin, as a writer, had never read the works of the famous James, which was a bit unreasonable. At the very least, it proves that Kevin's reading level is not high, and the amount of reading is not much. And this directly proves that Kevin is not knowledgeable enough.
Especially Bogut, he now deeply feels that it is a shame for him to write a column for Time Magazine with Kevin.
"I really don't know how people with this amount of reading can write good works. Is "Times" planning to degenerate this time?" Bogut said helplessly in his heart.
"But you haven't even read James' works. Do you dare to say that you know British literature very well? Do you dare to say that you can write good works? Because in your mind, there are no good works at all. Memory." Bogut took this opportunity to continue asking questions.
"Sorry, Mr. Bogut, I don't think so. Just like if you have read all the works of Shakespeare, does it mean that you have written a good work? Can it prove that you know English literature well?" Kevin replied calmly.
"this……."
"Also, good works are not written with good memory, but follow the inner thoughts and then modify them. That is to say, good works should come from the heart, not imitate some so-called famous masterpieces .That kind of thing is nothing new. It can be regarded as an article at best, but it cannot be called a good work." Kevin continued.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. Let's see if readers buy your account." Bogut said contemptuously.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Wall was afraid that they would have a quarrel. Immediately stood up and diverted it with other topics.
Bogut's jealousy at this time has also subsided a lot, because in his opinion, such a person who has not even read the classic works of classic writers must not be able to write many good works.
But they wouldn't know that when everyone despised him and thought he wouldn't write many good works, Kevin kept silent in his heart, laughed and said nothing.
