Rank: #258608 in BooksBrand: McEwan, IanPublished on: 1998-12-29Released on: 1998-12-29Original language: EnglishNumber of items: 1Dimensions: 8.00" h x .50" w x 5.10" l, Binding: Paperback176 pages 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful."It will not do to argue that rational thought and spiritual insight are separate domains"By R. M. PetersonFor a novel of only 160 pages, there is a lot to mull over in BLACK DOGS. In addition to being rich in content, it is, for the most part, very well written. But having now thought about it for forty-eight hours, I conclude that it does not really cohere, that it presents several themes - or threads, if you will - without satisfactorily tying them together. Still, I was taken by the novel, and I intend to return to Ian McEwan (BLACK DOGS having been the first of his works that I read).It is difficult to tidily summarize the plot, or situation, of BLACK DOGS. Suffice it to say for present purposes that Jeremy, the first-person narrator, became fascinated with his wife's parents, Bernard and June. By the time Jeremy met them, his parents-in-law had long lived apart, Bernard as a man of public affairs and liberal politics in London, and June, as a recluse and somewhat of a mystic in the Cevennes Mountains of southern France. Jeremy sets out to write their story, about how a couple who started off their lives together so joyously had drifted apart. Jeremy spends time with each of them, interviewing them, and each constantly elaborates on the failings of the other. In the course of his account, Jeremy goes back and forth between the 1940's and the 1980's, from England to Berlin (at the time the Wall came down) to Majdanek (a Nazi concentration camp outside Lublin, Poland) to the Cevennes.Perhaps the most conspicuous theme of the novel is announced by its title. In 1946, while hiking with Bernard in the Cevennes, June had a sudden and terrifying encounter with two huge black dogs, which turn out to have been mastiffs trained by the Gestapo but left behind when the Nazis abandoned southern France. The black dogs are, for June, a manifestation or symbol of the evil in life, and in the book there are several other outbursts of violence. Indeed, the novel seems to posit periodic irruptions of evil as part of the human experience.A competing theme is posed by the rationality of Bernard versus the spirituality of June. Seemingly, Jeremy ends up inclining towards June's antipode. But there is another aspect to the dichotomy to consider, one that is glossed over by Jeremy/McEwan. While June is much more open to the mysteries of life, she is very self-centered, whereas Bernard, despite his implacable and sometimes cold rationality, is "other-oriented". He cares about the countless other humans snagged by evil and he tries, through politics, to devise ways to reduce their number and their pain; June cares only to counter evil in her own life.One would not be amiss, then, in classifying BLACK DOGS as a novel of ideas. It is constructed with a relatively small number of scenes or episodes, each of which is limned by McEwan economically and vividly. By and large, the narrative is handled quite deftly.I was bothered, however, by how the narrative was conducted in one respect. At the beginning of Part IV, the narrative changes in two ways, so much so that it seems almost a completely separate account. First, Jeremy (McEwan) includes details that he had already mentioned in the first three Parts of the novel, details that would be unnecessary in one continuous, integrated narrative. Second, and more problematic, there is a shift to narrative omniscience. In the first three-quarters of the novel, Jeremy has to build his story on what June and Bernard tell him, and their memories are fading and incomplete, skewed by personal psychological and existential pressures, and, in several instances, altogether conflicting. But suddenly, in Part IV, Jeremy's account becomes all-knowing, especially in his telling in meticulous detail about June's encounter with the black dogs and the post-mortem discussion of the incident at the Hôtel des Tilleuls, events that had occurred more than forty years before Jeremy wrote his account. This shift in narrative perspective is disconcerting, and if it is not sloppy or lazy on McEwan's part then it strikes me as somewhat manipulative.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.A Master of words.By Rolf BerndI’d rate this novel as a very interesting exploration of two opposite characters who in spite of their differences and the impossibility to share a common space, love each other with an intensity that equals the mutual disregard of their respective beliefs. One of the characters is Bernard, a Member of Parliament and public figure who boast his extreme rationalism. He has married June, who after a strange and panic stricken episode involving two black, huge hounds, discovered an inner spirituality that gradually drifted her from Bernard.Jeremy, an orphan since eight, is always attached to other's parents. During his adolescence he preferred socializing with his friend's parents rather than his own real friends. When he married Jenny, he was immediately attracted to his new parents in law, Bernard and June, thus he started to collect, separate fragments of the life of such interesting subjects with the intention of writing a memory about them. The novel takes you through space and time and offers a vivid description of the post-WW 2's London and the French’s Languedoc region, which I discovered with amazement. McEwan also drove us to 1989's Berlin witnessing the fall of the Wall, and again to Languedoc, where Jeremy achieves a sort of conclusion.McEwan, a master of words, represents a real challenge for one like me, that know English only as a second language and are still trying to master it. Fortunately the Kindle program in my Android tablet lets me consulting, easily and immediately, the unknown vocabulary using whether the included dictionary or the links to Wikipedia. That's a great feature!To wrap up I rate "Black Dogs" as a very entertaining and amusing novel. The bad part is when the reading is over.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.More lecture than storyBy Miriam MurcuttThis short book is really more of a discourse than a story. The two main characters Bernard and June seem functionaries - mouthpieces for ideas. However, perhaps they had been so subjugated by their beliefs that they had, in fact, become mouthpieces. I am not sure why two of the minor characters Jean (Jeremy the story-teller’s sister) and her child, Sally, were introduced to the reader at the start of the book in such an influential way. They both seemed to have a future in the story but were, in fact, left to simmer on the back-burner. McEwan very effectively uses the carrot of the eponymous black dogs to entice the reader through the book, and the scene in which June is confronted by these beasts is riveting. Of course, this book is very readable because McEwan is a terrific writer. However, somehow the ideas in it seemed to swamp the characters and left me feeling as if I had read a lecture rather than a story.See all 117 customer reviews...
