Book description
Taut, brooding and densely atmospheric, these stories show us the ways
in which murder can arise out of boredom, perversity can result from
adolescent curiosity, and sheer evil might be the solution to unbearable
loneliness. Ian McEwan is the author of two collections of stories and
twelve previous novels, including
Enduring Love
, Amsterdam
, for which he won the Booker Prize in 1998, Atonement
and, most recently, Solar.
