SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD WINNER
"McEwan [has] a powerful talent that is both weird and
wonderful." —Boston Sunday Globe
"Ian McEwan's fictional world combin[es] the bleak, dreamlike
quality of de Chirico's city-scapes with the strange eroticism of
canvases by Balthus. Menace lies crouched between the lines of his
neat, angular prose, and weird, grisly things occur in his books
with nearly casual aplomb." —The New York Times
"McEwan is a splendid magician of fear." —Village Voice Literary
