Absolutely delightful interview; thanks so much for uploading. Ian is insightful and funny as usual, and Synne is a great interviewer and seemingly a very pleasant person too. I had never heard of the Louisiana Festival until I saw this, but don't worry, I won't tell a soul. :-)
endlessly fascinating interview! I really enjoyed his claim that us (humans) are constantly reading one another (reading body language etc) and not only that but reading other people's reading of ourselves. While that is certainly true, I think that these everyday 'readings' can't be fully compared with reading of a novel. I feel like reading a novel (literature) is more personal, more like 'reading' that goes on in a relationship, in a closer communication between two people who either know each other well or have the great desire to get to know one another.
Ivana, što si pročitala od njega? Ja sam završio Atonement prije par dana, prije toga Enduring Love, kao i First Love, Last Rites...Atonement je kao bogata trpeza, sedefast i gotovo egzotičan, Enduring love više precizno izveden i lijep u svojoj jednostavnosti. Izvrstan pisaca, i čitati ga na engleskom je privilegija.
nisam još ništa pročitala, naletjela sam na ovaj intervju kada sam gledala neke s drugim piscima....odmah me oduševio i već po njegovom izražavanju mogu vidjeti da se radi o nekome tko bi mogao biti sjajan pisac. Hvala na preporukama, jedva ga čekam početi čitati. Atonement sam gledala film, baš bi rado i knjigu pročitala.
More puzzling why so many on here consider McEwen a great novelist and deep thinker ? ! ? Seems like the archetypal middle class navel gazer riddled by White Guilt - so adopts liberal left posture to alleviate his guilty conscience .? Classic case . Also , though not his fault , completely unattractive physically . No doubt his superior intellect compensates . Or so he imagines ?
I totally enjoyed this conversation with Ian and Synne. Thanks for sharing it here for all to view.
Wanting to have fun with a genre was an interesting reason I wouldn't have expected from him.
Nic conversation....
.........this woman seems very happy person.......
The Edward Thomas poem is four quatrains, not three, featuring the word 'cloudlet', meaning smallish cloud. I love Sweet Tooth.

This is great ! :)
Waw where can i find a woman like that one, smart and beautiful, funny and kind, ironical and classy...life can be better than novels.
Listening
The interviewer is danish? i Find that she has a very french accent,, and my God why so serious writers quote Le Carré as a great novelist
@@saguaroflowers for sur she is not anglosaxon, perhaps a bit german, so tell me what she is if you are so clever

@lyes0516
Yes . I doubt whether she is Anglo Saxon . Unless she was born in the 9 th century. ?

Weird people of the cultural elite.
As opposed to you, the merely weird :)
