Supreme storyteller, Ian McEwan, talks to Edi Stark about his own life, which has had as many surprise turns as his literary fiction.
The Booker winning author of novels like Atonement, Enduring Love, Amsterdam and most recently Machines Like Me talks about how he has changed since the early days of writing subversive, dark tales.
He describes his working class parents…his father …a hard man from Govan and his mother Rose who was nervous and inarticulate. Fifteen years ago, when his father had died and his mother was suffering from dementia, Ian McEwan discovered that he had a brother, born six years before him, given away by his parents on a railway platform.
He reveals the astonishing story and talks about unhappiness in his life being turned around by the great love of his life, journalist and author Annaleena McAfee whose parents were also from Glasgow.
And at seventy years old, he ponders the compensations of growing old.
