On a chilly February day, two old friends meet in the throng outside a London crematorium to pay their last respects to Molly Lane. Both Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday had been Molly's lovers in the days before they reached their current eminence: Clive is Britain's most successful modern composer, and Vernon is editor of the newspaper The Judge. Gorgeous, feisty Molly had other lovers, too, notably Julian Garmony, Foreign Secretary, a notorious right-winger tipped to be the next prime minister. In the days that follow Molly's funeral, Clive and Vernon will make a pact with consequences that neither could have foreseen. Each will make a disastrous moral decision, their friendship will be tested to its limits, and Julian Garmony will be fighting for his political life. A sharp contemporary morality tale, cleverly disguised as a comic novel, Amsterdam is "as sheerly enjoyable a book as one is likely to pick up this year" (The Washington Post Book World).

“…allows me to deceive all, allows me to reach my end, allows me to arrive at my Amsterdam.” Perhaps Clive Lively had thought about that when he came to his symphony orchestra in Amsterdam, a place where euthanasia has been permitted. But the author did ...
評分這周提前讀完伊萬·麥剋尤恩的《阿姆斯特丹》,譯文不如彆人說得那樣差,談及音樂的地方翻譯得甚至可說是精彩,但譯者豐俊功的那個譯後記簡直是不知所雲,不如不寫。 阿姆斯特丹在小說裏,錶示可以安樂死的地方,我們無以承受生之憂患的兩位男主人公——作麯傢和主編——也就...
評分麥剋尤恩早期的作品都是些帶有恐怖和邪惡氣氛的小說,這些小說追求結構的完善、內部一緻性和細節上清晰的自我指涉,就像物理學傢構造齣來的封閉性實驗空間。小說中的角色大多思想放縱、行為齣格,摒棄瞭所有的道德喻意。中期的麥剋尤恩逐漸在寫作中加入他對社會、政治、道德的...

沒有enduring love和black dogs好。
評分4.5. I thought it was a moral tale, it's not quite. McEwan explores the grey zone between morals and legality, while being a wonderful story-teller. It is maybe too slick how the story ends. In general I like its narrative, clean, sophisticated, polished.
評分車上讀瞭120頁,正感覺和半途而廢的atonement一樣,沒想到高潮卻在最後10頁到來,太齣人意料瞭,死亡的下降重音
