essee<\/a> on hyv\u00e4\u00e4 luettavaa kaikille niille, jotka joskus tuntevat kertomakirjallisuuden olevan turhaa ja lapsellista. Min\u00e4 tunnen usein. Fiktiokriisi on hyv\u00e4, terveellinen asia.<\/p>\n”This is when I think I will go to my grave <\/span>and not read <\/span>Anna Karenina<\/span> a fifth time, <\/span>or <\/span>Madame Bovary<\/span> a fourth. I\u2019m 64. If I\u2019m <\/span>lucky, I might have 20 good reading years <\/span>left. Teach me about the world! Bring me <\/span>the cosmologists on the creation of time, the annalists of the Holocaust, the <\/span>philosopher who has married into neuroscience, the mathematician who <\/span>can describe the beauty of numbers to the numbskull, the scholar of empires\u2019 rises and falls, the adepts of the English Civil War.<\/span> A few widely spaced pleasures apart, what will I have or know at <\/span>the end of yet another novel beyond Henry\u2019s remorse or triumph? Will a novelist please tell me why the Industrial Revolution began, or how <\/span>the Higgs boson confers mass on fundamental particles, or how <\/span>morality evolved, or what Antonio <\/span>Salieri thought of the young Franz Schubert in his choir? If I cared enough about Henry\u2019s gripes, I could read a John Berryman Dream Song in less than four minutes. And with the 15 hours saved, linger over some case law (real events!), as good a primer as any on the strangeness and savagery of the human heart.”<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ian McEwan ei ole minulle t\u00e4rke\u00e4 kirjailija.
