Style is an extension of personality.” He went on, “When I’m writing, I don’t really think about themes.” Instead, he keeps in mind a phrase of Nabokov’s: “fondle details.” McEwan explained, “Writing is a bottom-up process, to borrow a term from the cognitive world.

“The sensual pleasure of it traps you fiercely in the present,” he said.

Saturday - Ian McEwan - Complete Review - Entrance to the Complete ...

It's a matter of debate whether it's the reader or the writer who is being too clever here."        Note: In a 23 January 2005 interview in the Sunday Times, McEwan acknowledges that much of the book is autobiographical, from the mother succumbing to dementia to Tony Blair's case of mistaking identity.

Und genau deswegen kippt auch die Konstruktion immer wieder in die Kolportage." - Elmar Krekeler, Die Welt "Es gibt ein ganzes Bündel von Gründen, Saturday zu loben: die sorgfältige Architektur, die Intelligenz der Beobachtungen, die elegant unauffällige Sprache (von Bernhard Robben glänzend übersetzt) und die geradezu aristotelische Einheit von Ort, Zeit und Handlung.

Here, though, his control over his material is too pronounced." - Zoe Heller, The New York Times Book Review "(A) novel you can't help admiring and can't possibly love." - David Gates, Newsweek "His gift of observation, wonderfully precise, now comes thick and fast.

�s daily experience." - Sam Munson, Commentary "This is a rich book, sensuous and thoughtful.
. . .
In Saturday he is at his best -- thoughtful, eloquent, yet restrained.
. . .
Occasionally, McEwan stacks his intellectual cards too neatly (.....) In general, however, McEwan has found in Saturday the right form to showcase his dazzling talents." - Caroline Moore, Daily Telegraph "Saturday is not a McEwan masterpiece: it is just a little too safe.

Their parents have split up and the children have just been sent here, where Briony immediately ropes them into participating in her play.
. . .
       It dawns on readers: Briony's atonement is not her forsaking Cambridge to become a nurse, or trying to be forgiven by those she wronged, but rather it is the writing of this novel.

Trust us: neat endings, tied up with a bow, aren't nearly as satisfying as what McEwan has to offer.

There are accidents -- a child wetting the bed, a chipped vase -- and then things seen and overheard and possibly misinterpreted (and possibly missed).

Ian McEwan : Saturday : Atonement : Book Review

Looking out the window, he sees what he thinks, at first, is the Hale- Bopp meteor, but the object brightens, moves faster, and comes streaking through the skies at low altitude—not a meteor, but a plane on fire, apparently crashing on its approach to Heathrow.
. . .
When Briony finally commits her long-foreshadowed "crime," the results are cataclysmic, and the world, as they know it, ends for several characters.
. . .
Though the climax is loaded with menace and is executed with high drama, the events are less significant than Henry's reactions to them.
. . .
In intensely realized descriptions, Henry's reaction to this event, along with the more mundane events of his daily life, come vividly alive, drawing in the reader who shares the most intimate aspects of Henry's existence.
. . .
He has come to believe, however, that "there has to be more to life than merely saving lives." Though he has willingly accepted the discipline and responsibility of a medical career, "he's still young enough to yearn for the unpredictable and unrestrained, and old enough to know the chances are narrowing." Daisy has found through her poetry, and Theo has found in the blues, "not melancholy, but a strange and worldly joy," a spontaneity of feeling different from anything Henry has ever known.
. . .
Henry is happily married to Rosalind, a lawyer for a newspaper, whose life he saved through emergency surgery when she was nineteen.
