Review:
"Marks the debut of a talented and genuinely imaginative writer" (Julian Barnes New Statesman)
"As promising a first collection of stories as I have ever come across" (Vogue)
"Ian McEwan writes to shock and succeeds... It is a tour-de-force of concision, and funny, too, in a deadpan manner" (Gabriele Annan Times Literary Supplement)
"A writer of uncanny power" (Time)

"A writer of uncanny power" (Time)
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
