Ian McEwan is the author of 19 novels, some of which have been adapted to film, like On Chesil Beach and Atonement.
His latest novel, What We Can Know, is set 100 years in the future and focuses on a biographer’s attempt to locate a poem. A poem that was written about by people who heard it recited by the author. A poem that exists as a single copy, hand written on vellum, and presented as a birthday gift.
I recently spoke with Ian McEwan about What We Can Know and here’s our conversation.
