"Saturday" feels like it unfolds in a series of set pieces. Do you know where they are going? A: Not entirely. I'm fairly what's the word? unsystematic. I brood. I sort of mulch things around for a long time. There are certain things I avoid thinking about before I write, and even thinking about them gives them more shape than they should have before I get them there. I sort of brood until I'm driving myself nuts, and what I should do is write. And then what I am looking for is the tone, the style, the means by which I should tell a story. The very first bits of Saturday I wrote is Henry stepping out of the house on a fresh morning, seagulls in the sky, and some memory of childhood: a basalt rock formation by the sea. I thought, I don't know where this is going, but I'm sure at some point he'll step outside of his house. I just need to try this out: and with that I saw the prose. And then I started again. For this book I wanted a very pure style so that every page I wanted characters to emerge as if from nowhere. So this man gets out of bed and makes his way to the window, as if he materialized out of darkness, and forms in front of the reader's eye.

Most novelists run from film, afraid that the care they lavished on their prose will be squandered. I know. Well, it will be squandered whether they run or not. Skip to next paragraph Photograph by Marco Secchi/Rex USA So why are you the executive producer? So I could stay involved but not write the screenplay. I refused to write the screenplay. I didn’t want people sitting around a table — a producer, a director — telling me that I hadn’t fully understood these characters.

    Extractions: Sunday, Jan 27, 2008 Log in The author of "Amsterdam" explores the devastating consequences of a young girl's lie. By Laura Miller Pages 1 RSS Font: S S+ S++ The house belongs to the Tallis family, and the first member introduced is the soon-to-be criminal, 13-year-old Briony, who is writing a play to be performed by herself and her three visiting cousins. Her mother Emily lies upstairs, nursing one of her chronic migraines and waiting for her husband to phone to tell her he's spending the night in London. Her restless older sister, Cecilia, frets about the unaccountable new awkwardness in her relationship to Robbie Turner, son of the family's cleaning woman and her childhood playmate. Everyone awaits the arrival of the adored eldest, Leon, who's bringing along his friend, Paul Marshall, an industrialist with big plans to sell candy-coated chocolate bars to the army in the increasingly likely event of England declaring war on Germany. At first McEwan unspools the action languidly, adopting the viewpoint of several different characters as they move through the sultry summer day and toward the fateful, moonless night. There's fussing about the dinner, the concoction of what sounds like the most disgusting cocktail ever devised, lost socks, a broken vase and, behind all this, large, ominous emotions shifting their way to the surface. The most violent acts of the day happen offstage, so to speak, but the most enduringly destructive one is a lie Briony tells, a lie that will ruin two lives and overshadow her own for decades.

    Extractions: The reviews for his Booker shortlisted novel Atonement variously call it "enveloping" (Evening Standard), a "superb achievement" (The Sunday Times) and "dazzling" (The Sunday Telegraph). Born in 1948 in Aldershot, Surrey, he spent his childhood in Singapore and North Africa where his father - a soldier - was posted. After studying English Literature at the University of Sussex, graduating in 1970, he undertook an MA degree at the University of East Anglia. One of his teachers was the novelist Malcolm Bradbury on the now famous creative writing course he set up at East Anglia.

Eric Schoeck is the Capitola Book Café Events Coordinator. E.S.: Several of the reviews I've read have targeted the opening scene of Enduring Love as particularly compelling. Have you been hearing this from people as well? I.M.: I came across a journal entry I wrote about six months before I began working on Enduring Love . My journal tends to be full of little exhortations, and it said, "write a first chapter that would be the equivalent of a highly addictive drug." I did want to have the reader hit the ground running...

    Extractions: Main The BBC has a curious article about author Ian McEwan that makes an interesting error about his novel Enduring Love . In fact, the truth is much more subtle. The article notes that: McEwan made up a medical condition for the stalker and wrote a spoof article from a psychiatric journal explaining the illness and included it in the book. His description of De Clerambault's Syndrome fooled reviewers and psychiatrists alike. In fact, De Clerambault's Syndrome (where someone has the delusional belief that another person is in love with them) is well known in the medical literature and McEwan's description is quite accurate. Nevertheless, his book concludes with what looks like a reprint of an article from the British Review of Psychiatry that describes a case study which the book seems to be based upon. Although also fiction (the British Review of Psychiatry doesn't exist), its style is convincing and it's properly referenced with studies from the real medical literature. So convincing, in fact, that it

In 1986 I was at the Adelaide literary festival where I read the scene from The Child in Time in which the little girl is stolen from a supermarket. I had finished a first draft the week before and I wanted to try it out. As soon as I was done, Robert Stone got to his feet and delivered a most passionate speech. It really seemed to come from the heart. He said, "Why do we do this? Why do writers do this, and why do readers want it? Why do we reach into ourselves to find the worst thing that can be thought? Literature, especially contemporary literature, keeps reaching for the worst possible case." I still don't have a clear answer. I fall back on the notion of the test or investigation of character, and of our moral nature. As James famously asked, What is incident but the illustration of character? Perhaps we use these worst cases to gauge our own moral reach. And perhaps we need to play out our fears within the safe confines of the imaginary, as a form of hopeful exorcism.

    Extractions: This January Floating World Comics is proud to present a varied group show with some of the town's best and brightest new artists, painters and illustrators. In order to find a connecting thread between all these artists, I came up with the theme "A LIFE IN PICTURES" which they were asked to interpret however they liked. To get things rolling I invited them all to watch the Stanley Kubrick documentary with the same name, "A LIFE IN PICTURES". I instructed the artists that the show did not necessarily have to be Kubrick themed. But rather, I found the documentary to be very inspiring and it rejuvenated my creative spirit. It reminded me why good art is so important to me. I hoped that the experience would have a similar and unifying effect if the artists in the show watched it as well.

Because I’m fresh out of outrage. Yes, I cared that James Frey exaggerated or fabricated parts of his memoir A Million Little Pieces. I sort of cared that Kaavya Viswanathan borrowed bits of her young adult novel (the title of which is too long to bother typing) from other young adult novels. I even sort of tried to care that J.T. Leroy, the author of assorted literary works that almost nobody besides Courtney Love had read, was himself fabricated by a San Francisco couple looking for attention. But don’t ask me to be outraged that there are slight similarities between Ian McEwan’s Atonement and the autobiography of a WWII nurse. I just don’t have it in me.
