By common agreement one of the great English writers of the post-World War II era, McEwan has published 13 novels, three collections of short stories, two plays, three screenplays and an oratorio. Eight of his books have been filmed; Atonement, in 2007, rocketed him to international celebrity. McEwan is a man of outspoken political views, and regularly generates controversies over them. In 2014 he sold his literary archives to the University of Texas’s Ransom Center for $2 million.

Henry Bemis Books is pleased to offer McEwan's Booker Prize-nominated, Tait Memorial Prize-winning novel to readers:
