具體描述
Michael Beard is 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. A compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering. But this time it is different: she is having the affair, and he is still in love with her. When Beard's professional and personal worlds collide in a freak accident, an opportunity presents itself for Beard to extricate himself from his marital mess, reinvigorate his career and save the world from environmental disaster. Ranging from the Arctic Circle to the deserts of New Mexico, "Solar" is a serious and darkly satirical novel, showing human frailty struggling with the most pressing and complex problem of our time. A story of one man's greed and self-deception, it is a profound and stylish new work from one of the world's great writers.

評分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...
