Art  and  literature  EVU  18      

C   Literature  C1   General  1   Jacquie   O’Donnell   is   one   of   the   country’s   most   popular   n_____   (=   people   who   write   long   stories   about  

imaginary  people  and  events,  remember  a  n_____   is   typically  at   least  150  pages   long;  anything  shorter   is  a  short  story).  

2   She  has  written  a  series  (=  set  of  books  featuring  the  same  characters)  of  romantic  novels  all  with  a  historical  setting  (=  background  for  a  story  or  film).  

3   These  have  all  been  b_____  (=  very  popular  books  that  sell  in  large  numbers)  although  the  cr_____  (  =  people  whose  job  it  is  to  give  their  opinion  of  something,  typically  books  that  sell  in  large  numbers)  complain  that  her  pl__________   (=   stories)   are   predictable   and   her   ch__________   (=   people   in   a   book   or   film)   are   not   very  realistic.    

4   Her  cousin,  Pamela  Smith,  is  a  more  literary  (=  serious  rather  than  popular)  writer  and  her  books  tend  to  get  better  reviews  (  =  what  the  critics  write)  although  they  do  not  sell  so  well.  

5   Both  writers  have  a  novel  which  will  be  ready  for  p_____  (=  making  something  available   in  a  printed  form)  later  this  year;  they  will  also  be  available  to  download  as  e-­‐b_____.    

6   We  have   received   advance   copies   of   both   novels   and   it   is   interesting   to   compare   the   opening  passage   (=  short  piece  of  text)  from  Smith’s  latest  book  with  an  extract  (=  part  of  a  book  chosen  to  be  used  in  an  article  or  for  discussion)  from  the  chapter  of  0’Donnell’s.
