Favorite Author: Ian McEwan


Ian McEwan is a master of literary fiction. Some of his earlier books take some strange turns and are downright weird in parts, but his later novels are astonishingly elegant. He has a lot of years ahead of him, so the best may still be yet to come.

Listed below are McEwan's novels and short stories.  I left off screenplays and other dramatic works.  Those I have read are in red; those on my TBR shelf are in blue. If anyone else is reading the McEwan Bibliography, leave a comment with a link to your progress report and I will post it.

  1. I have Atonement and Saturday. I started Saturday but wasn't able to get past the first chapter. I'm thinking it might be timing. Looking forward to seeing what you think.
