* “don’t do” in Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte
Posted by Lew Weinstein on January 23, 2009
- transitions. (185-86) the reader is suddenly transported from Fargas’ home in Portugal to Paris, with no transition. The details of this change of scene are presented later (187-88). Does this work? I don’t think so. It’s a technique similar to what Tolstoy does repeatedly in Anna Karenina. Ah, crticizing Tolstoy – heresy!
- exposition. long, detailed descriptions and lists of old books, which the reader can’t possibly read and absorb. what is the purpose?
