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.

采访:小乐 翻译者说 城市画报:麦克尤恩的小说里有些非常特别的、细小的“细节”,比如我总是忘不掉《夏日里的最后一天》中珍妮出场前的笑声。你有类似的“忘不掉”的细节吗? 潘帕:这个问题问到了痛处。最令我挥之不去的,是《蝴蝶》中的一句自述:“我是个长相可疑的人,...

英国大作家麦克尤恩的成名作,《最初的爱情,最后的仪式》,历尽千辛万苦,终于出来了。漂亮的蓝绿色小书摆在眼前。忘了是哪一年,在长安的酒店里,我用一个下午的时间读完了传说中的《立体几何》。此前,做了几年编辑的我已经不看小说了,职业化的厌倦吧。这本书是朋友推荐的...

麦克尤恩在中国已经很红了,作品出了很多,众评论也都很高调。在这种时候回过头来读他的成名作《最初的爱情,最后的仪式》,是另一种味道。这部他27岁时出版的小说集,虽然写作技巧还远没有后来熟练和老道,但正因为如此,我们更能见出作家的本真——他关注什么,他写什么,他...

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...

比较喜欢Homemade还有Conversation With a Cupboard Man(这两个算最清口味了的吧)McEwan大叔真蛮牛,用一种平淡得貌似琐碎的口吻向你讲着各种SM与人性的扭曲。

写的非常好,有些故事让人惊讶的同时又有一种of course的恍然大悟感。故事参差有高低,但整体有一种对世界、人性的恶意,对世界、人性的无情攻击。然而我们无法反驳,因为,of course..

评分

The imagination in Solid Geometry with the silhouette of Borges is great.Yet this realm of filthy,slimy,morbid atmosphere where no love, but lust and indifferece are haboured contains only tiny wits and tricks, no logos of writing. Nor could I c any spark in the language. To me nothing remains besides the text and I'm certain that I don't like him.

Ian likes to write about sick bastards, but deep inside who isn't. God, I wish i could be as simple as those who live without feelings.

Firstly, it's Love. At last, it's Rites.
