In his triumphant new novel, Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement, follows an ordinary man through a Saturday whose high promise gradually turns nightmarish. Henry Perowne–a neurosurgeon, urbane, privileged, deeply in love with his wife and grown-up children–plans to play a game of squash, visit his elderly mother, and cook dinner for his family. But after a minor traffic accident leads to an unsettling confrontation, Perowne must set aside his plans and summon a strength greater than he knew he had in order to preserve the life that is dear to him.
Ian McEwan is the bestselling author of more than ten books, including the novels Atonement, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the W. H. Smith Literary Award, The Comfort of Strangers and Black Dogs, both shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Amsterdam, winner of the Booker Prize, and The Child in Time, winner of the Whitbread Award, as well as the story collections First Love, Last Rites, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and In Between the Sheets. He has also written screenplays, plays, television scripts, a children’s book, and the libretto for an oratorio. He lives in London.

评分一个四十九岁中年男人的疲惫感与无力感。源自于生活的脱离控制。意外、衰老、死亡、儿女在精神意义上的离开、恐怖主义的威胁、世界其他角落发生的战争...... 唯一令他感觉放松和安全的位置反而在于紧张、危险但他得以掌控手术刀的手术台。 安全感来自于能够控制。 面对无法...
Listened to the audiobook read by James Wilby. Very good narrator. His Daisy, Rosalind, and cockney Baxter made me chuckle though. Liked the details on literature, poetry, Blues and Glenn Gould. Found the theme and subject overall uninspiring. Nothing we haven't thought of before. I'm so tired of the perspective of a middle class white male...
评分Recognise bad luck when see it, and look out for people. Prise from addictions of someone, meanwhile minimise miseries of others since all you can do is make them comfortable. Political points of view are never cocooned by sophisticated phrases. Totalitarian only in different form, still scatterd,weak, but growing and thirsty for killing. Bingo!
