Key West Literary Seminar

The new book Ian McEwan read from (in two sections, one on Sunday morning and on Sunday afternoon) is excerpted in the New Yorker here. It’s fascinating to note how profound an effect editing has on the piece; when McEwan read beyond where the New Yorker excerpt left off and got into the racy bits the story took on quite a different cast, less tragic and more entranced with the absurdity of carnal desire.
