Ian McEwan | First Love Last Rites
Ian McEwan | First Love Last Rites
"A talented and genuine imaginative writer. McEwan's details often grow into strange, powerful images - the ironies, throughout this impressive collection, are tellingly weighted" (Julian Barnes) "A writer of uncanny power" (Time) "Ian McEwan writes to shock and succeeds... All his stories have a feeling of impending evil - it is a tour de force of concision, and funny, too, in a deadpan manner" (Times Literary Supplement) "His writing is exact, tender, funny, voluptuous, disturbing" (The Times) "A brilliant performance" (Observer)
