Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 49 What is a good work

This cultural salon of “Times Weekly” is basically similar to ordinary cultural salons. It is the experience of some cultural people who exchange writing experiences and reading books. During this process, some people produced works they thought they were proud of, and then asked others to correct them.

means correcting, but in fact it also means showing off. I just let you see how well I write and how smoothly I write.

Bogut, as a columnist of Time Magazine, was praised by many writers at this time, and some writers even called him “teacher” respectfully. This made him feel light and fluttering in an instant.

Because Kevin is relatively young, many writers did not communicate with him too much, but greeted each other out of politeness. Just when Kevin thought that he would spend this cultural salon in silence, Bogut suddenly asked Kevin: “Kevin, have you seen James’ “The Conversation of Leaves”? 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 seen James’s work.”

Bogut’s words were deliberately to test Kevin, and he was thinking: Humph! Aren’t you awesome? I want to see how your opinion differs from that of ordinary people.

“Sorry, I haven’t seen this work. Oh, maybe I should go and see if I have time.” Kevin told the truth.

Most of Kevin’s mind is the masterpieces of the literary giants on the earth, and most of the literary works in this parallel world have not been read. After all, the lazy guy before him didn’t like literature either.

“What? You haven’t seen James’ “The Dialogue of Leaves”? Did you know that “The Dialogue of Leaves” is one of James’ classic representative works.” 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 famous James’ representative works. This disappointed him.

Not only Bogut, other writers were surprised to hear Kevin say this. As a writer, I didn’t even read James’ “A Dialogue with Leaves”, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Wall is the same. When Bogut asked Kevin, he thought Kevin would have some amazing comments, but now he also seems a little embarrassed.

James has a very high achievement in English literature in this parallel world, and he is also known as the “second Shakespeare”. He has written countless classics in his life and is one of the greatest philosophers and writers in Britain.

“The Dialogue of Leaves” is the representative work of his literary peak in his life. The book uses the method of dialogue with leaves to explain life, ideals, love, and gender. It can be described as complete and incisive.

People who love literature generally have seen this work by James, of course, even if they haven’t read it, they can be forgiven. However, as a writer, Kevin has never seen such a classic work. It is inevitable that people are a little disappointed.

“Sorry, everyone, I really haven’t seen James’s work. Maybe I am ignorant, but I think I will take a look at it if I take the time.” Kevin said again.

Kevin really hasn’t seen this work, and doesn’t want to make a fat man with his face. Besides, “The Dialogue of Leaves” is not a work on earth. If it is, he can still give a general idea based on the memory system of writers in his mind.

As soon as these words came out, many writers on the scene made a face shaking their heads. Some people even thought that Wall asked Kevin to come over is a bit perfunctory. After all, this cultural salon is attended by influential works of Time Magazine.

Hearing Kevin’s exact answer, Bogut felt even more that Kevin was a mere teenager. He deeply thought in his heart that maybe Kevin just relied on a certain talent to write one or two good works in a moment. Does not have the potential of a great writer.

“James is such a classic “The Conversation of Leaves” that you have never read. I really doubt how much depth you can write. After all, you are so young and have not experienced anything.” Bogut shocked.

“But guys, literature doesn’t need to have seen someone’s work to write well, and it doesn’t take to be experienced to write well. Isn’t it? In the UK, there are so many people who have seen “Leaf’s Dialogue”, do they take it for granted? Have you become a writer? You haven’t been to the horizon to see Caixia and Baiyun. Does that mean you can’t write about their beauty?” Kevin said neither humble or arrogant.

When everyone heard it, they thought about it carefully, and felt that what Kevin said was reasonable. But no matter what, they always feel that Kevin, as a writer, has not seen the works of the famous James, it is indeed 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 in Time Magazine with Kevin.

“I really don’t know how a person with this amount of reading can write good works. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com “Times” is planning to fall down this time?” Bogut said helplessly in his heart.

“But you haven’t even read James’ works. Do you dare to say that you know English literature well? Do you dare to say that you can write good works? Because in your mind, there is no good work at all. Memory.” Bogut took this opportunity to continue to ask questions.

“Sorry, Mr. Bogut, I don’t think so. Just like you have seen all of Shakespeare’s works, can it prove that you have written good works? Can it prove that you have a good understanding of English literature?” Kevin Answered calmly.

“This….”

“Also, good works are not written based on good memories, but follow the inner thoughts, and then modify them. That is to say, good works should be inspired by the heart, not imitating some so-called celebrity masterpieces. . There’s nothing new about something like that. At best, it’s an article, but it can’t be called a good work.” Kevin continued.

“Young man, don’t be too arrogant. Then let’s see if the reader can buy your account.” Bogut despised.

Wall saw that the situation was wrong, and feared that they would have a quarrel. He immediately stood up and used other topics to divert the past.

Bogut’s jealousy at this time has also diminished a lot, because in his opinion, such a person who has not even read the classic works of a classic writer, certainly can’t write many good works.

But they don’t know. Just when everyone despised him and thought he would not write many good works, Kevin remained silent in his heart, laughed and said nothing.
