An encyclopedia of the descriptions of human emotions, character traits, action, places, weather and so on in fiction. Is there such a book?

>> No.4529063

I take it you want a book like this to steal for your own stories, because you're too useless to think of this stuff on your own

>> No.4529066

You talking about TVTropes?

I'd like to see the entry for "snow lit."

Something like that but specially for fiction. Its really weird that none one thought of making such a book since it can be really helpful.

Fiction includes film and other media. The word you're looking for, I think, is "literature".

but what is a letter? A symbol with an accepted meaning. Like a camera angle, or edit. If Hieroglyphics are "letters" why cant other pictures be letters?

The young engineer Turgut Özben investigates the reasons behind his close friend Selim Işik’s suicide. People close to Selim Işik pool their knowledge to shed light on the unknown aspects of his life. In his last days, Selim was assembling an “encyclopedia of losers” wherein he had reserved an entry for himself. The encyclopedia proves helpful in revealing self-knowledge to Turgut Özben. In the course of his investigation: he too is a loser, or a perennial nobody; to date he has been going through the motions of habit and ritual. He makes a clean break, leaves home, and boards a train never to be seen again.

Probably the most eminent novel of twentieth-century Turkish literature, a work that won high critical acclaim and popular following, Tutunamayanlar offers an endless series of tragicomic observations, an expansive and critical panorama of Turkish manners, attitudes and clichés through a profound sense of irony, parody, dark humor and existential questioning. Although it poses an earnest challenge to even the most skilled translator with its kaleidoscope of colloquialisms and sheer size (nearly 700 pages), it represents Turkish literature at its best. Its translation into the wide-known language of the world is a must.
