Leonard Marnham is assigned to a British-American surveillance team in Cold War Berlin. His intelligence work—tunneling under a Russian communications center to tap the phone lines to Moscow—offers him a welcome opportunity to begin shedding his own unwanted innocence, even if he is only a bit player in a grim international comedy of errors. Leonard's relationship with Maria Eckdorf, an enigmatic and beautiful West Berliner, likewise promises to loosen the bonds of his ordinary life. But the promise turns to horror in the course of one terrible evening—a night when Leonard Marnham learns just how much of his innocence he's willing to shed.

读后感

女人受不了那娇艳欲滴的颜色，随即吃了。蛇说，你们不会死……如果你们吃了，你们就会睁开眼睛，就和神一样能够分辨善恶了。 死亡对于麦克尤恩来说，是留给愚蠢的人准备的。在他关注的惩罚方式中，不死本身就是一个最具杀伤力的武器。也许是试图“像神一样……”这一举动本身意...  

阅读的体验是有层次的。从一开始对伦纳德工作与其环境的大篇幅描写让自己有些不太耐烦，跟《只爱陌生人》如出一辙，小说在中后期开始出现不一样的阅读体验。到中期与玛利亚的爱情进展的描写才开始慢慢进入佳境。对于人心理变化的精准刻画让我享受其中，就算是后期处理尸体的段...

（《外滩画报》特稿） 1990年冷战间谍题材的小说《无辜者》问世时，有记者问他：“你为了写《无辜者》作过医学研究吗？” 麦克尤恩煞有介事地回答说：“我和麦克•当尼尔吃过饭，他是病理学专家。我告诉他我要写一个没有接受过训练的受惊吓的人锯一具尸体。” 采访者有点惊恐...

总感觉没写完呢

I thought it could be an most average piece of work by Ian, but the story 's getting more and more interesting (though kinda sick, dark and cultish, especially the part of body dismantling...anyway it's Ian's style, to fine details). Ian's real guru of pacing up the story, the thing is moving faster and faster till the final 1/5 of the book, the climax. One shall feel a sense of "innocent stupidity", as the "truth" is being told or one thought it as being told but it wont come out as expected. Whether it's the most unforgivable sin in real world, the "innocence" of Leonard is kinda forgiven at the end, which warmifies the whole story. Maria's letter touches me a lot "... Sometimes I've been angry abt you. It was wrong of you to retreat with your anger and silence. So English! So male! If you felt betrayed you should have stood your ground and fought for what was yours... but I know really that it was your pride that made you slink away. It was the same pride that kept me from coming to London to make you marry me, I couldn't face the possibility of failure"...
