《旅行写作指南》内容简介

　　为什么印象深刻的经历，到了笔下却变得不疼不痒？

　　为什么新鲜劲烈的体验，写出来却像跑气的可乐一样乏善可陈？

　　为什么讲述不同地域的故事，读起来却千篇一律？

　　沉浸到新的语言、食物、潮流中去，像何伟在埃及做人物特写那样，以“快要溺水”的零距离参与垃圾工赛义德的生活。

　　选定一个主题，采访至少两到三个观点相反的人，像S.A.阿列克谢耶维奇在切尔诺贝利那样收集不同声音。

　　从“第一个念头”开始写下初稿，像玛格丽特·阿特伍德记录美国侨民社区那样，以“洗澡时唱歌”的自在状态起笔。

　　经历-构思-定稿，尽情试炼随笔、历史非虚构，特写、群像采写、双线叙事等写作方法的表达力；刻意练习即能创作出好看又耐读的故事。

A brief introduction to the Travel Writing Guide

Why does an impressive experience turn out to be so painless when written about?

Why is it that a fresh, intense experience is written like a running Coke?

Why do stories from different places sound the same?

Immerse yourself in new languages, foods, and trends, as Hessler did in his profile in Egypt, and participate in the life of garbage worker Said from a "near drowning" distance.

Choose a subject and interview at least two or three people with opposing views, gathering different voices like S.A. Alexievich did at Chernobyl.

Write the first draft from the "first thought," as Margaret Atwood wrote about the American diaspora community, in the "singing in the shower" state of ease.

Experience - ideation - finalization, to test the expression of writing methods such as essay, historical non-fiction, close-up, group image collection, two-line narrative, etc. Deliberate practice produces a story that is both beautiful and readable.
