About
The collection is McEwan’s second book and second collection of short stories, and was regarded by the author (along with his first collection,First Love, Last Rites) as an opportunity to experiment and find his voice as a writer. In an interview withChristopher Ricksin 1979, McEwan commented, “They were a kind of laboratory for me. They allowed me to try out different things, to discover myself as a writer.”
