The latest addition to my website is Paolo Giordano‘s Tasmania (Tasmania). Our narrator, called Paolo Giordano, is a science journalist. He is worried about private issues – particularly his marriage, not least because his wife cannot get pregnant but also worldwide issues, such as climate change and terrorism but others as well. He is unsure of what he wants to do and decides to write a book on the atom bomb, in particular from the Japanese point of view. Meanwhile relationships fail, both romantic and friends and a good friend says, publicly, that women are not as intelligent as men and Paolo has to take sides He heads off to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is a first-class novel which tells of worldwide problems and personal problems, which sometimes meet but are often treated separately, though it is apparent that both are running in parellel.
