Recensie
"Truby attempts to inform the entire story, addressing plot, character, tone, symbolism, and dialog. The key here is to grow a script organically rather than force the story into preexisting mechanics . . . Highly recommended." --Library Journal
"A comprehensive guide to writing stories of all kinds, Truby's tome is invaluable to any writer looking to put an idea to paper." --Booklist
"The Anatomy Of Story is concrete and practical without resorting to simplistic 'Three Act Structure' screenwriting clichés. It will be an indispensable guide to writing your first great script. Then, the perfect survival manual to help you negotiate the often confusing, contradictory and cutthroat world of professional screenwriting." --Larry Wilson, co-writer /co-producer of BEETLEJUICE and co-writer of THE ADDAMS FAMILY
"A veritable bible for screenwriters." --Backstage

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 10 april 2015If you're going to buy a 'how to write books' book, this is the one you should buy. There are some excellent, very succinct ebooks that begin you on the 'how to' journey by pointing out that writing novels is a craft as well as an ability, and that craft can be learned. These are heartening because they offer a series of easy to follow 'steps' for structuring novels so that they work as novels. However, they are often cobbled together accounts of a range of theories on novel-writing, and they might lead one to believe that taking more than a month on a novel is a waste of time. Truby's book presents a coherent, depth account of what makes a good novel/film and why, and the steps he suggests build towards a far more comprehensive and intelligent sense of how writers can make their novels work in very clear and manageable ways. I had innumerable lightbulb moments, and it was a real pleasure to read something that doesn't dumb down what novels are but instead gives credit to smart writing and smart readers. The power of this particular book is that it looks at the range of writing, both literary and genre, novel and screenplay, in a way which allows one to see how good quality structure and therefore writing can be achieved in both. It's a much longer book than others in this field, which makes the reading experience far more satisfactory and fulfilling. A real find and now a cornerstone of my library.

Peter5 van 5 sterrenPlunge deep into the art of storytelling
Beoordeeld in Canada op 29 april 2024As a writer who wants to improve my writing, I've read many books on writing (to learn how to stuff another 'writing' into an overburdened sentence) and John Truby's book is often mentioned as the gold standard of how to write a great story.
I can see why, as John is incredibly thorough, going in depth into all the aspects of story telling from premise to character to scene construction. What is appreciate is the organic approach he advocates with many examples from great movies and tales. However, that depth makes it hard to grasp the whole of the approach and sitting down to implement his concepts into a practical structure is challenging.
I think it would take a few reads to get his ideas integrated into an author's process but well worth doing. Perhaps it's best to view his concepts as guideposts to make sure you have not wandered far off the path of a great story.
