Hailed as “a writer of uncommon clarity” by the New Yorker , National Book Award finalist Allegra Goodman has dazzled readers with her acclaimed works of fiction, including such beloved bestsellers as The Family Markowitz and Kaaterskill Falls . Now she returns with a bracing new novel, at once an intricate mystery and a rich human drama set in the high-stakes atmosphere of a prestigious research institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Sandy Glass, a charismatic publicity-seeking oncologist, and Marion Mendelssohn, a pure, exacting scientist, are codirectors of a lab at the Philpott Institute dedicated to cancer research and desperately in need of a grant. Both mentors and supervisors of their young postdoctoral protégés, Glass and Mendelssohn demand dedication and obedience in a competitive environment where funding is scarce and results elusive. So when the experiments of Cliff Bannaker, a young postdoc in a rut, begin to work, the entire lab becomes giddy with newfound expectations. But Cliff’s rigorous colleague–and girlfriend–Robin Decker suspects the unthinkable: that his findings are fraudulent. As Robin makes her private doubts public and Cliff maintains his innocence, a life-changing controversy engulfs the lab and everyone in it.
With extraordinary insight, Allegra Goodman brilliantly explores the intricate mixture of workplace intrigue, scientific ardor, and the moral consequences of a rush to judgment. She has written an unforgettable novel.

from a non-scientist's perspective, so the excitement about science is lacking. Wish there were some crazy scientists with literature talent to convey the thrill and pain of a scientific life.

圖書標籤: 生物學 小說 原版 science novel
作者旁徵博引,冷靜透徹又慈悲地描寫瞭一群醫學研究者之間封閉的社會關係。人的弱點在這樣狹窄的競爭裏被放大瞭,一點過錯和失誤都不能容許,因為醫學實驗總牽扯龐大的經費,贏的人全盤皆贏,得到權炳和榮耀,輸的人在殘酷的遊戲規則裏沉沒,如同其他所有的領域。作者的文字漂亮,句子強而有力,結構清楚,每個人物個性的刻劃都細膩而完整。有不少書評説他是簡奧斯汀第二,寫起人情世故精闢深刻。
