On Chesil Beach -- Audiobook

Ian McEwan reads his latest novel On Chesil Beach in this 4 CD, unabridged audiobook produced by Random House Audio. In addition to hearing the book in McEwan's own voice, listeners are treated to an excellent interview with the author conducted by John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London. The conversation deals primarily with the novel, and McEwan discusses the story's conception, various drafts, themes, and imagery. He also clarifies certain aspects about the characters -- issues that were subtly hinted at in the novel.
