Ian McEwan
Ian McEwan‘s latest novel is about young newlyweds who are so innocent and tongue-tied that they can’t get comfortable when it really matters — on their wedding night. Kurt talks to McEwan about On Chesil Beach, set in the early 1960s on the eve of the sexual revolution. His novel Atonement also concerns the consequences of sex in a repressive time; the screen adaptation just received the Golden Globe for Best Picture.
