Abstract

Ian McEwan’ s Solar has been the subject of many a debate, mostly due to its controversial representation of Climate Change’ s cause and the solution offered for the global disaster. The paper explores the novel’ s judgment over Climate Change’ s fountainhead and the protagonist’ s vain project to save the earth. The scope of the study encompasses the narrator’ s accounts of the characters and events in the story. In the light of David Harvey’ s notion of ‘ Spatial Fix, ’ the study, through a close reading of the novel, focuses on the context within which the story unfolds in order to elaborate on the transformation of the earth into a globalized monolithic Built Environment called ‘ the planet’ for the sake of efficiency and free flow of capital and commodities. It also argues that the protagonist’ s solar energy generation project is a neo-liberal initiative to replace a less lucrative production mode and tackle the system’ s critical spell of overaccumulation, rather than global warming.
