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.

On a recent Sunday evening Theo came up with an aphorism: the bigger you think, the crappier it looks. Asked to explain he said, 'When we go on about the big things, the political situation, global warming, world poverty, it all looks really terrible, with nothing getting better, nothing to look forward to. But when I think small, closer in – you know, a girl I’ve just met, or this song we’re going to do with Chas, or snowboarding next month, then it looks great. So this is going to be my motto – think small.' (查看原文)

neuronovel的代表性作品。读了n+1上谈the rise of the neuronovel的文章，作者Marco Roth对这一类型的批判还是挺有道理的，他认为neuronovel将人类不寻常的心理状态固定为特定神经疾病的产物，以至于我们读者无法再与其感同身受。但我初读的感想还是跟Proust Was A Neuroscientist的作者Jonah Lehrer的立场比较一致，麦克尤恩...neuronovel的代表性作品。读了n+1上谈the rise of the neuronovel的文章，作者Marco Roth对这一类型的批判还是挺有道理的，他认为neuronovel将人类不寻常的心理状态固定为特定神经疾病的产物，以至于我们读者无法再与其感同身受。但我初读的感想还是跟Proust Was A Neuroscientist的作者Jonah Lehrer的立场比较一致，麦克尤恩在书中仍然贡献了一些有关含混意识非常美丽的抒情段落，而在临近结尾的高潮部分，Baxter受到诗歌的感化也仍然体现出人类意识的可能性超乎neuroscience的解释力。不过在这方面我大概还是得多读点书，希望能够发现literature和(neuro)science之间更多样化的相互关系吧。(展开)
