«Solar» is Ian McEwan's satirical novel, published by Penguin Random House in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Michael Beard, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, drags a stalled career and a fifth marriage in crisis while directing a government programme against climate change. A fortuitous accident offers him a way out; with irony, the novel portrays greed and self-deception between the Arctic and New Mexico.
«Solar» won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize in 2010 and was shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award in 2012.
For readers of literary fiction and satire, including book clubs, with an interest in science and climate change.
