![]() ![]() As treated by McEwan, Jed Parry's lunatic passion becomes a fun-house mirror that distorts the real passion. McEwan is married to Annalena McAfee, a journalist and editor, and lives in London and the Cotswolds. Certainly it has never been more powerful than in Enduring Love, a novel that is at once an ingenious and formidably intelligent study of one form of mental illness and a wrenching evocation of the risks to which love can be put. Among these are Saturday, a response to the War on Terror and Britain’s involvement in the invasion of Iraq Solar, a satirical examination of the politics of climate change and Sweet Tooth, a Cold War thriller that features significant autobiographical elements. ![]() McEwan continued to produce at a rapid pace in the years following Atonement, releasing six novels from 2005 until 2016. ![]() Born in Aldershot, Hampshire, in the south of England, McEwan studied at the University of Sussex and the University of East Anglia before publishing a pair of short story collections- First Love, Last Rites and In Between the Sheets-whose chilling content earned him the nickname “Ian Macabre.” Over the next several years, McEwan’s style evolved, an alteration that won the author far greater fame and critical success with the publication of such mainstream novels as Black Dogs, Amsterdam (for which McEwan won the Man Booker Prize), and, most famously, Atonement, which was lauded by Time magazine as the best novel of 2002. Ian McEwan is one of the most important British writers of the last fifty years. ![]()
