myeonghopabo 's review for:
Saturday
by Ian McEwan
besides exploring the complexities, ambiguities, and ironies of being a medical practitioner (how can i prize being objective when my expertise is founded on uncertainties and deduction? etc.), mcewan's saturday is a love story. at times, it is a flawed one, where perowne's act of love is selfish, leaning into conflict to digest the tension brewing from the political sphere. yet, saturday is so full of heart despite conveying the failures in our mutual understanding of each other, caught between pragmatics (an objective reality) and emotions (a subjective one). at its core, the love between henry and his wife is startlingly interdependent; the relationship that the two have is frighteningly vulnerable and comforting in the best way. when i think of our love, i think it is like theirs.
