Description of Saturday by Ian McEwan Novel PDF

“Saturday” is a great novel that is written in the shadow of 9/11. Ian McEwan is the author of this novel. Ian is a critically acclaimed author of short stories and novels for adults. His novel “Saturday” deals with the rational world of Henry Perowne, a 48-year-old neurosurgeon, married to a lawyer with a daughter who is poet and son who is a jazz musician. It describes what starts out as a normal Saturday for Henry, the neurosurgeon. Saturday is his favorite day of the week, as he usually has it all to himself. But on this Saturday, that was not to be.

It is a rational, comfortable world that because of one instance in the book is bedeviled by the irrational forces that put liberal society at risk on a daily basis. The veneer of civilization is quite thin indeed, regardless of what we imagine. The world is full of ticking time bombs, be they terrorism, crime, or mental disorders. The characters served their appointed roles successfully. Perowne’s son and father-in-law are especially interesting. Each one affords Perowne, the reductionist protagonist, a challenge and solution, if not solace. None of the characters are superfluous to the outcome. All are believable.
