How does McEwan tell the story in chapter 9?

This way McEwan is able to

1. Introduction The present thesis will analyse Ian McEwan’s late novel Enduring Love in light of the theories of postmodernism. The aim is to reveal postmodernity as the subject matter of the given novel. Enduring Love’s inherent debate over the change of the approach to science in aftermath of the demise of the pro-Enlightenment modernity will be identified.

Readers expect openings to include a couple of key areas like the setting‚ the introduction of characters and interest through a form of enigma or tension. Ian McEwan’s Enduring Love both conforms and challenges what a reader would expect of an opening through opening on what seems to be a climactic point of the book.
