More From Ian Mcewan
- "London in the ’70s was a pretty catastrophic dump, I can tell you. We had every kind of industrial trouble; we had severe energy problems; we were under constant terrorist attack from Irish terrorist groups who started a bombing campaign in English cities; politics were fantastically polarized between left and right."
- "I actually find novels that are determined to be funny at every turn quite oppressive."
- "True intelligence requires fabulous imagination."
