具体描述
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.

读后感
任何一个作家都有“变脸”的渴望，因为这是自己突破藩篱、挣脱瓶颈的明证所指，伊恩•麦克尤恩自然也不例外。作为一个书写闭环境遇中奇情奇事而成名立万的小说家，麦克尤恩意欲撇清自我早期创作形态的努力，在近年的写作中愈发彰显，其《追日》显然是野心之作，亦为“炫技...
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 评分因为喜欢McEwan，所以出Solar没多久就买了，哦，新作Sweet Tooth也是，而且还是实体书和Kindle版一起买。回国的时候发现Solar已经翻译出版了，译者和On Chesil Beach的是同一人，上海译文出版社的黄昱宁。 McEwan写学术界也像那么个回事：声名显赫的教授到一定年纪变成学术花...

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engrossing
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...
