"Brilliant . . . Nobody is better at writing about entropy and indignity -- among other topics -- than Ian McEwan . . . One way to read Lessons is as a self-repudiation of the maneuver at which McEwan has become virtuosic. More authors should repudiate their virtuosity. The results are exciting." -- The New York Times Book Review "McEwan's new novel is a profound demonstration of his remarkable skill. Lessons progresses in time the way a rising tide takes the beach: a cycle of forward surges and seeping retreats, giving us a clearer and fuller sense of Roland's life. He becomes a kind of Zelig character passing through momentous changes in the late-20th century. Indeed, even more than McEwan's previous novels, Lessons is a story that so fully embraces its historical context that it calls into question the synthetic timelessness of much contemporary fiction." -- The Washington Post "Insightful . . . Engaging . . . Expansive and unhurried, Lessons explores how one man's life is shaped by the unpredictable sweep of history." --Seattle Times
