Our cher ami Robert Birnbaum sits down with one of the big dogs of contemporary lit, the mighty Ian McEwan. We'll be sure to direct MOTEV to the chat, which covers "his son, neurosurgeons, blues musicians, Graham Swifts' The Light of Day, fictional time, the state of literary culture, what his friend Martin Amis thinks, the pervasiveness of obsessed book people, whether his new novel is an allegory, being a parent now and in the past generation, Richard Yates, Far from Heaven, the shifting terrain of literary culture, the ubiquity of novelists, avoiding distractions, and his recent travels."
