In #WhatWeCanKnow, the futuristic book by @IanMcEwan he writes of "a crisis in realism in fiction between 2015 + 2030..when...new forms were needed to frame the physical + moral consequences of a global catastrophe". I think he's on to something. #Fantasy #writingcommunity #books

I had 9 books I gave 5 stars to this year and would happily recommend any and all! #GoodDirt #TheNames #Atmosphere #WhatWeCanKnow #MyFriends

Ian McEwan’s Haunting Vision of the Future What We Can Know imagines a collapsed society, devoid of art and ravaged by rising waters.

For those who still read books…
#WhatWeCanKnow

She had read too much. Everything was like something else.
So writes #IanMcEwan I’ve read all his novels. The latest #WhatWeCanKnow is like nothing else I’ve read. Love, writing (poetry, biography, journals) sex, academia, the future, climate tragedy. Fascinating. #amreading

Je me suis régalée. Disparu.

PS. Je n’ai pas trouvé de date de sortie en français.

Do you read in the same genre you write?

Happy Release Day -- What We Can Know by Ian McEwan! A literary, dual timeline novel set in 2014 and climate ravaged 2119. Beautifully written, and a fascinating look at truth, history, and stories. Recommend! #whatwecanknow #netgalley #booksky 📚💙

#WhatWeCanKnow is a genre-blurring novel from #IanMcEwan. Part literary detective story, part philosophical exploration, it is full of secrets, twists, and unexpected revelations. Kirkus calls it “a philosophically charged tour de force by one of the best living novelists in English.” (4/5)

I conceded that I complained too often about our fallen world. It had always been falling and we had to make a life.

I still hesitate and steel myself when approaching a new McEwan - I'm still scarred in my heart and soul over what he did to me with Atonement (IYKYK...), and there's hints extant this takes a twist in its second half.
You better be careful with me, Ian.
