On a windy spring day in the Chilterns, the calm, organized life of science writer Joe Rose is shattered when he witnesses a tragic accident: a hot-air balloon with a boy trapped in its basket is being tossed by the wind, and in the attempt to save the child, a man is killed. A stranger named Jed Parry joins Rose in helping to bring the balloon to safety. But unknown to Rose, something passes between Parry and himself on that day--something that gives birth to an obsession in Parry so powerful that it will test the limits of Rose's beloved rationalism, threaten the love of his wife, Clarissa, and drive him to the brink of murder and madness. Brilliant and compassionate, this is a novel of love, faith, and suspense, and of how life can change in an instant.

评分刚拿到书,觉得这个书名实在无厘头。而翻开书后,就被这个热气球引发的故事深深吸引了。 书中充斥着大量唠唠叨叨反反复复地描述,但反而把读者带入了主人公的情绪中,随着情节的推进,脉络逐渐清晰。读到最后,我有一种深深地无力感,眼看着一对爱侣由于一个精神病人的介入而变...
评分《爱无可忍》 伊恩•麦克尤恩 【推荐指数】★★★★★ (五星推荐) 【短书评】 对于这本无法归类的书,我更倾向于归于惊悚类,从头吓到尾。第三次接触同性恋的书,《爱无可忍》将同性妄想作为书的主旋律,展现了病态的爱和爱的脆弱与救赎。科学与文学水乳交融,没有一点僵硬...
没有细读,但是觉得McEwan的书里都有一种agony,Atonement里面是Briony的innocence/guity,这种冲突甚至让我没法读完那本书。这本书里面是Joe的(ir)rationality. 这种冲突在书里贯穿的很好,从profession到relationship,到主人公的各种行为。作为学院派,作者的几个主题,理性,科学,真相,视角之类的,都看得出受到西方主流学院思想影响(don't know if i'm doing justice to the author, though..).从某种角度讲,写理论和写小说其实是可以殊途同归的一件事。个人很喜欢这本书的情节主题以及明显的学院派影响,四星是因为Atonement是五星。这本书没有Atonment残忍,也不如它震撼。
评分Ian McEwan is such a fantastic storyteller, with such a "fluid" way of writing. <cement garden> is sth cult and dark, Ian is daring enough to disclose all those fine details of a long-lasting nightmare. But in <enduring love>, readers may have many ways of interpretation. Story going like a heavy fluid, and I was fascinated by how Ian delivered the story in a semi-detached tone--a full range 3-D view--in a time scale of days. "seeing is NOT believing" is what I've been resonated to most. This kind of "philosophy" is what's been long rooted in oriental culture, or at least sth I suspect about buddhism (though it may takes a while for me to source for the quote). Everybody is living in their own world of perception, and solitude is inevitable. I was completely shocked by the letter Clarissa wrote to Joe: being logic and being right is in fact ruining their love. The ending is a big punch, and seemingly warmified the entire story. Anyway we are living in a world that is not so bad, separately or collectively, shedding a light of human nature at everybody's face.... And McEwan is such a knowledgeable person and I was superised by his immense collection of knowledge. If he'd not been a writer, he'd be a great researcher in either science or art...
评分To be in love is to be in love with the falsified & exalted image of yourself. To stay in love is for the other to shatter that mirage.
评分很学术派的小说,描述了De Clerambault syndrome的病例。很喜欢McEwan的心理描写,充满了细节的真实。
