Solar Ian McEwan |
Ian McEwan is one of Britain’s most versatile and accomplished living novelists, and Solar is an excellent example of his vivid, gripping narrative style and ingenious character portrayal.
Michael Beard is an unattractive, selfish, morally and emotionally flawed, yet curiously endearing protagonist, who is attempting to maintain his elevated status in the science world based on his one questionably brilliant scientific contribution. He steers his way through the collapse of his fifth marriage, a series of comic mishaps and his failing health with a dogged narcissism in a novel packed with unexpected incident and satirical humour. Beautifully and sharply written with some unforgettable scenes.
