Biography

One of the most distinguished novelists of his generation, Ian McEwan was born in England and spent much of his childhood traveling with his father, an army officer stationed in the Far East, Germany, and North Africa. He graduated from Sussex University in 1970 with a degree in English Literature and received his MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia.

McEwan burst upon the literary scene in the mid-1970s with two short story collections that highlighted with equal clarity his early predilection for disturbing, somewhat shocking subject matter and his dazzling prose style. Similarly, his 1978 debut novel, The Cement Garden, attracted as much attention for its unsettling storyline as for its stylistic brilliance. But even though his early work was saturated with deviant sex, violence, and death (so much so that he earned the nickname "Ian MacAbre"), he was never dismissed as a mere purveyor of cheap thrills. In fact, two of his most provocative works (The Comfort of Strangers and Enduring Love) were shortlisted for major U.K. awards.

As he has matured, McEwan has moved away from disquieting themes like incest, sadism, and psychotic obsession to explore more introspective human dramas. In an interview with The New Republic he described his literary evolution in this way:

"One passes the usual milestones in life: You have children, you find that whether you like it or not, you have a huge investment in the human project somehow succeeding. You become maybe a little more tolerant as you get older. Pessimism begins to feel something like a badge that you perhaps do not wear so easily. There is something delicious and reckless about the pessimism of being 21. And when you get older you feel maybe a little more delicate and hope that things will flourish. You don't want to take a stick to it."

Among many literary honors, McEwan has been awarded the Somerset Maugham Award for First Love, Last Rites (1976) and the Whitbread Prize for The Child in Time (1987). Nominated three times for the Booker Prize, he finally won in 1998 for Amsterdam. He has also received the WH Smith Literary Award and National Book Critics' Circle Fiction Award for Atonement (2001) and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Saturday (2005).

Ian McEwan's Somerset Maugham Award-winning collection First Love, Last Rites brought him instant recognition as one of the most influential voices writing in England today. Taut, brooding, and densely atmospheric, these stories show us the ways in which murder can arise out of boredom, perversity can result from adolescent curiosity, and sheer evil might be the solution to unbearable loneliness. These tales are as horrifying as anything written by Clive Barker or Stephen King, but they are crafted with a lyricism and intensity that compel us to confront our secret kinship with the horrifying.

更多的时候先入为主的主观思想主导了我们对于一个事物的看法,即便评价这一行为本身就带有很浓的主观色彩。阅读一本书的时候尤其是这样。不排除是因为当下快餐阅读文化导致所有书籍疯狂扭曲的编辑营销自己,所有的书籍都在腰封或者是封底甚至是封面都用上赤裸的语言来表达这...

周末,重读《立体几何》。 《立体几何》描写了一对纠结夫妇,梅茜有些神经质,甚至歇斯底里,渴求男人的关爱,无论是身体还是内心,可惜两方面“我”都未能满足她。小说开头有段精彩的对白: 她摇摇我的肩膀。“先别睡好吗?别让我一个人呆着。” “我就睡在你身边”,我说,...

其实还包括译名 这俩都搞得无比小清新。 当然了,封面可以改,但这译名真不知道咋改才能不清新。 起初我是买错了,以为是另外一作家的 就是写自杀俱乐部和失恋排行榜那哥们。 这本小说腰封如是说: 布克诸奖没啥稀奇,诺奖只是时间问题。 鄙夷的鼻哼了一声,就凭借失恋排行榜...

these eight short stories remind me of Joyce's great works, Dubliners. both of them use the same tone and skill to write a story. No matter how serious how bad how strange the thing is, their articles still remain peaceful, calm. But McEwan is less powerful. His sentences are not that touching. Unlike Wolfe, he doesn't use the word and parallelism acurately. This makes him strange. However, as a debut, this book is awesome. Homemade and Butterflies are good. Converstation with a cupboard man is really sincere. It's about love and the relationship of being cared and being embraced tightly and the willing of choking to death by love. Solid Geometry is the best of all. I love imagination, love odd story which is told commonly and the fantastic ending.

还不错,属于阴郁系列的,功底很扎实,基本上任何一篇都在读了两页之后能感觉紧张的情绪,会十分好奇接下来会发生什么。他让我有一点点想起卡夫卡的文字。最喜欢,夏日的最后一天,这一篇。剧院那场写得也不错,很有画面感。少给一颗星少给在这些题材我其实是不太喜欢的。
