First Love, Last Rites
A brilliant performance. There's an assured and terribly macabre depravity about Ian McEwan's short stories - as if some of the characters from early Angus Wilson had been painted by Francis Bacon - Observer

Synopsis
Taut, brooding and densely atmospheric, these stories show us the ways in which murder can arise out of boredom, perversity can result from adolescent curiosity, and sheer evil might be the solution to unbearable loneliness.
Editorial Reviews
"A talented and genuine imaginative writer. McEwan's details often grow into strange, powerful images-the ironies, throughout this impressive collection, are tellingly weighted" - Julian Barnes
"A writer of uncanny power" - Time
