《追日》(Solar,2010)是当代“英国文坛三巨头”之一的伊恩·麦克尤恩的一部力作。这位经验丰富的老牌作家,因早期作品多涉及人性的阴暗面,所以在出道之时被评论界冠以“恐怖伊恩”的称号。然而,随着他阅历的增加与技法的成熟,他后期的作品逐渐转型,不再像先前那样愤世嫉俗,文章所涉及的题材更加广泛,所运用的技巧更加娴熟。 Solar (2010) is a masterpiece of Ian McEwan, one of contemporary British literary giants. The experienced veteran writer, whose early works covered more of the dark side of humanity, was branded “Terror Ian” at the time of his debut. However, as his experience increased and his techniques matured, his later works gradually transformed and was no longer as cynical as before. The articles covered a wide range of subjects and employed more skillful sketches.
