This episode takes us to the Harbourfront Centre in downtown Toronto for the International Reading Series with critically acclaimed novelist Ian McEwan. McEwan reads from his latest novel On Chesil Beach, and afterwards we get highlights of a conversation between McEwan and Walrus Magazine editor, Ken Alexander.
McEwan has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times, winning the award for Amsterdam in 1999. He is probably best known for Atonement, which garnered him the WH Smith Literary Award in 2002 and the National Books Critics Circle Fiction award in 2003.
