This book selects sixteen interviews with British national writer and Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan during his thirty-year writing career. They were first published in different publications and in various formats, including books, literary magazines, weekly magazines, and recordings. In these interviews, McEwan clarifies the underlying themes of his writing, showing how he continues to explore, express, and refine his insights about writing, science, relationships, politics, and human nature. I believe that both general readers and scholars will find these interviews of unique value: they not only provide in-depth insights into McEwan's works, but also provide a sense of his distinctive literary personality and growth as a writer.
