Could you talk about that? ... I suppose one of the most chilling aspects of being sort of just a helpless television watcher was, first of all, the curious kind of silence of those images, of the very first images, while the towers were still standing, but on fire. You could only imagine the human panic and distress inside those buildings. ... I was surfing between various channels, news channels. I was struck by the way in which nobody was wanting to talk about that at that stage. There was just smoke billowing from windows. It had a sort of distancing public appearance. It was that gap between what we really knew must be going on and the fact that you couldn't actually, in those first instances, see any human distress. Later we saw pictures, harrowing pictures, of people jumping from windows.

Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece. top of the page What sort of social and cultural setting does the Tallis house create for the novel? What is the mood of the house, as described in chapter 12? What emotions and impulses are being acted upon or repressed by its inhabitants? How does the careful attention to detail affect the pace of Part One, and what is the effect of the acceleration of plot events as it nears its end? A passion for order, a lively imagination, and a desire for attention seem to be Briony's strongest traits. In what ways is she still a child? Is her narcissism—her inability to see things from any point of view but her own—unusual in a thirteen-year-old? Why does the scene she witnesses at the fountain change her whole perspective on writing? What is the significance of the passage in which she realizes she needs to work from the idea that "other people are as real as you. And only in a story could you enter these different minds and show how they had an equal value" [p. 38]? Do her actions bear this out?

The Cement Garden (1978) and The Comfort of Strangers (1981) were his two earliest novels. The nature of these works caused him to be nicknamed "Ian Macabre". These were followed by three novels of some success in the 1980s and early 1990s. His 1997 novel, Enduring Love, about a person with de Clerambault's syndrome, is regarded by many as a masterpiece, though it was not shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 1998, he was awarded the Booker Prize for his novel Amsterdam. His next novel, Atonement, received considerable high acclaim; Time Magazine named it the best novel of 2002, and it was short-listed for the Booker Prize. His next work, Saturday, follows an especially eventful day in the life of a successful neurosurgeon. Henry Perowne, the main character, lives in a house on a well known square in central London, where McEwan now lives after having relocated from Oxford. Saturday won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for 2005. His most recent novel, On Chesil Beach, was shortlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize.

Only after several days and publicity in the British press was McEwan admitted because, as he said a customs official had told him, "We still do not want to let you in, but this is attracting a lot of unfavourable publicity."

BY DWIGHT GARNER "I an McEwan is contemporary fiction's black magician. In novel after novel, beginning with "The Cement Garden" (1978), his crisp, almost clinically precise prose part Kafka, part "Lord of the Flies"-era William Golding sucks you into worlds that spin with violence, sexual aberration and paranoia. In the U.K., where he was among British fiction's angriest young men of the 1970s, he's long been dubbed Ian Macabre. McEwan is now 50, and the "Macabre" label fits him less snugly. In person he is amiable and almost shy. And after years of exploring such subjects as sadomasochistic intrigue (in 1981's "The Comfort of Strangers") and children who lapse into feral states (in "The Cement Garden"), his fiction has come to seem more open and humane while losing none of its potency. "Not many things in life get better as you get older," McEwan says. Writing, he implies, is one of them.
