In many respects, Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s. She enjoys spending time with her friends and loves Disney. But, less typically, she is a writer. And, quite exceptionally, her medium is a cell phone.
In Japan, not only are people reading novels on their cell phones: they’ re also writing novels with them—uploading SMS-length chapters to specialist websites where they are in turn downloaded to the phones of millions of readers. The most popular are printed as books and sell in the hundreds of thousands. In book form, K, Okiyama’ s first cell-phone novel, is 235 pages long. "I think I was writing 20 pages in two hours per day at the most, and it took me almost a month," she says.
Although she was used to writing around 100 text messages daily, Okiyama never expected that thumbing her keypad would enable her to become one of the country’ s hot new writers. " I had never written a story," she says. "I never had the idea of how a real novel should be, so that might be why I could do it. "
"Cell-phone novels are created and consumed by a generation of young people in Japan that demands to be heard," says John Possman, an entertainment consultant. " It is truly pop culture. It has also become big business, shaking up a publishing industry whose sales have been declining for a decade. "
Individual voices are hard to find, however. As dictated by the medium, the language of cellphone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons—signs that represent various attitudes or emotions. Dialogue and description are scarce. Subject matter is always the same. Typically, a heroine loses her first love and then, later struggles to find love again.
"The stories are often told in the first person and lack diversity," agrees Possman. But that hasn’t been a problem with consumers yet. "Why don’t you write a novel and move me?" read one angry schoolgirl’ s recent online post, in response to a fierce opponent of cell-phone novels. So far, Japan’ s literary establishment hasn’ t come up with an answer.
In Japan, cell-phone writers______.
选项
A、upload their stories bit by bit to websites
B、pay to have their novels printed as books
C、spend almost one month to finish a novel
D、send SMS-length texts to readers’ phones
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干意为:“在日本,手机小说作家——?”文章第二段“…up loading SMS-length chapters to specialist…”介绍了日本读者通过短信的形式把手机小说上传到专门的网站上,然后被网友下载,因此是一点点的把故事上传到网上。故选A。
