Unless you are an adventurer and experience real adventures in the most extreme places on Earth – and have tons of money to afford them – only in rare cases is it possible to use your experience to write genre fiction. 2 examples in science fiction come to mind: Isaac Asimov : biochemist and science communicator. His stories are credible and also scientifically rigorous. Andy Weir : Software engineer and enthusiast of relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight. Anyone who has read, like me, Survivor (The Martian) and Artemis – The first city on the Moon (Artemis) can confirm this. And who writes fantasy? Who writes horror? Who writes westerns? Who writes detective stories? Writing is communicating.
You can already see the author from the writing style, you can recognize him. From the use of words, their mixture, the rhythm, the typology of the characters. But it doesn't end here. As I wrote before, in every story Special Data there is a piece of the author. Even in fantasy writing you can use a known person to describe and show the character of a character, even an elf or a gnome. And the same goes for horror, detective and western. The great American novel It was January 9, 1868 when the novelist John William DeForest coined the expression “the great American novel” as the title of an essay for «The Nation». What did DeForest mean? The great American novel represented “the ordinary emotions and ways of American existence.
He also argued that, at the time, this type of novel had not yet been born, even if Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe came close. Other works considered in the Great American Novel group are: The Great Gatsby (The Great Gatsby) by F. Scott Fitzgerald Moby-Dick by Herman Melville To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Fury (The Grapes of Wrath) by John Steinbeck The USA trilogy by John Dos Passos They are representative stories of an era and a society , which bring to mind a people and their way of being. And the great Italian novel? Some include I Viceroy by Federico De Roberto, but also I promessi sposi by Manzoni. However, there has been a debate in recent years. Today this great Italian novel does not exist.
