Roy Peter Clark, one of America's most influential writing teachers, offers writing lessons we can draw from 25 great texts.

Where do writers learn their best moves? They use a technique that Roy Peter Clark calls X-ray reading, a form of reading that lets you penetrate beyond the surface of a text to see how meaning is actually being made. In The Art of X-Ray Reading, Clark invites you to don your X-ray reading glasses and join him on a guided tour through some of the most exquisite and masterful literary works of all time, from The Great Gatsby to Lolita to The Bluest Eye, and many more. Along the way, he shows you how to mine these masterpieces for invaluable writing strategies that you can add to your arsenal and apply in your own writing. Once you've experienced X-ray reading, your writing will never be the same again.

Roy Peter Clarke has an undeniable love of the english language; he’s dedicated himself to a lifetime of writing and reading and learning and teaching. From that experience, he generously pours himself out in this book, drawing from one example after another — sharing snippets of text from legendary works of literature, and sharing what he sees, so you and I can see it too; so we can carry on and improve our own writing through the art of X-Ray reading.

Eye-opening....a must-read!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 marzo 2016

Acquisto verificato

I’m a voracious reader, but this book made me feel like I’ve never truly read a book. I mean that in the most complimentary way. I didn’t realize how much I was missing when I read, until I read this book. It’s a very eye-opening experience that lead to many aha moments and a ton of “OMG, I can’t believe I missed that!” moments.

Each chapter focuses on a specific work and at the end of each chapter is a writing lesson. These lessons are the key elements that the reader should take away from that chapter. At the end of the book is a section called “Great Sentences From Famous Authors” and this is a chance to practice your new x-ray reading skills. Following this exercise are the “Twelve Steps to Get Started As An X-Ray Reader” which is a good reference to help new x-ray readers begin reading on a whole new level.

Out of the 25 works mentioned in this book, I’ve only read about half of them. Now that I have a new pair of x-ray reading glasses on, I want to reread these (as well as some of the others) with fresh eyes. I love The Great Gatsby, but wow, did I miss a lot! I missed the themes and symbolism, especially. I’m a Charles Dickens fan and I read Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch, but somehow I missed her parallel to A Christmas Carol. How in the world did I miss that? (I knew the concept of intertextuality, but I didn’t know that’s what it was called.) I love it when I notice it in literature, but I’m sure there are many times when it slips by me unnoticed.

One of the most eye-opening experiences was the chapter about Hemingway. Although I never read A Farewell to Arms, I did read The Sun Also Rises. I was very disappointed in it, so I gave it a low two-star rating. I noticed it received a lot of high ratings and I couldn’t understand why. I wasn’t fond of his terse prose and Hemingway fans are always saying that if you don’t like Hemingway, then you don’t understand him. I thought they were just being pretentious snobs, but after reading The Art of X-Ray Reading, I realize that I truly didn’t understand Hemingway. I missed his rhythm and his intentional repetition and omission of words. I was too busy reading on the level of the story that I wasn’t reading it on the level of the text.

This is one of those books that you’ll not only want to add to your home library, especially aspiring writers, but also a book that you’ll want to read more than once. I checked this book out at my local library, but I already know that I’ll be buying it, rereading it and write in it. I want to absorb everything Roy Peter Clark teaches in this book (and his other books) and internalize it completely. I highly recommend this book to avid readers and aspiring writers.

Useful for readers and writers

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 21 novembre 2020

If you are either concerned to improve your understanding of the books you read, or want to consider ways you might add depth to what you write, this is a useful book. The author selects well-known books and looks closely at how they create the effects that make them noteworthy and/or of generally agreed enduring quality.
He scans many books and authors: in my view, too many to supply as much depth of analysis as one might wish. In the case of "The Great Gatsby" this is unfortunate. To my mind, this is an over-rated book, that was very fortunate to be produced in thousands for GIs in WWII, to warn them not to expect things to be the same when they returned home. Huge sales to the US war dept. translated into too much respect. It's the American way!
On the other hand, there is much to be gained from Clark's treatment of books and writers such as: Lolita, James Joyce, Sylvia Plath, Madame Bovary, and many others.
As I read the sections I was particularly drawn to - I expect you will adopt a similar approach - it dawned on me that Roy Peter Clark's baseline assumption was that his book was aimed at writers who wish to produce high quality prose. You know the kind of thing: "It is a truth universally acknowledged…; or, the last paragraph of Joyce's "The Dead". If, as a writer, you have more modest ambitions, Clark's tips and pointers to improving your writing may be less helpful than he imagines. After all, "The Dead" is a great short story. However, in it, Joyce manages to describe a feast laid out in marvellous cinematic detail, but without reference to the appetising aromas that must have flooded the elderly aunt's room.
