Ian McEwan, CBE

Novelist

One of the country’s greatest living novelists, Ian McEwan is increasingly unchallenged as the most enduringly influential of the generation of male British authors that also included Martin Amis, Julian Barnes and Salman Rushdie. A huge draw at literary festivals, McEwan continues to write thought-provoking fiction, most recently The Children Act. McEwan spent much of his early childhood travelling to the destinations where his military father was posted. His first published work was a collection of short stories, which earned him the Somerset Maugham Award. Since then, novels including Atonement, Saturday, Enduring Love and Sweet Tooth have garnered glowing critical acclaim at the same time as huge popularity, only augmented by film adaptations of Atonement and Enduring Love. 2011 saw McEwan awarded the Jerusalem Prize.
