自从伊恩不再写那种卡夫卡式的小格子AB角剧目,而转向村上春树般的开放都市后,他似乎就失去了某些节制操守,开始肆无忌惮地当一个熟练的anti分子,而他这种冷眼旁观的anti其实才是最世故又最伤人。这使得《追日》这书显得过于好莱坞了点,一切的一切都那么恰到好处,严丝合缝...
评分这本书分成三个部分,只有最后一个部分麦克尤恩把整本书几乎完全崩溃的烂情节挽救了回来,前两个部分,真的读的时候,一直心里在想“他怎么了?”,怎么能写得这么差呢?诺贝尔呼声很高的候选人,就是这个水准? 前两个部分,那些烂得出奇的戏剧巧合,真的有几个,读到它们发生...
评分 评分个人片面的、纠葛在生活日常场域之中的视线,如何能够看到气候变化的地球,并且做出有效的应对?生态危机的宏大和个人生活的渺小,这个巨大落差导致的难题,当代人都会体验。而难题之所以难解,恰好和现实主义小说这一形式自身的局限环环相扣:作者提供的环境描写,常常是通过...

Michael Beard is in his late fifties; bald, overweight, unprepossessing – a Nobel prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. An inveterate philanderer, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. When Beard’s professional and personal worlds are entwined in a freak accident, an opportunity presents itself, a chance for Beard to extricate himself from his marital mess, reinvigorate his career and very possibly save the world from environmental disaster.

评分engrossing
评分结尾略仓促了,节奏感不如之前读的几本,描写也偶尔有炫技之嫌;环境危机是义不容辞还是道德高地、还是商业便车,喜欢这种模糊化的处理;男主角代表“科学”大战后现代(男主角认为真实就是真实,物理真实不是建构)和女性主义(认为物理界女性少是因为女性天生不适合学物理)很有意思,也是模糊化处理;衰老和自怜的心理描写写得不错。

评分this is not the typical kind of Ian's work - lack of description of brutal violence or discussion of sex. the plot is entirely based on the life of Michael Beard, a professor, an academician, Nobel laureate in physics, whose life is in a total mess. An anti-hero who seemingly made his way through all kinds of trouble, finally trapped himself...
