I always mix up Ian McKewan with Ian Rankin, so when I hear people say "greatest living writer" I always think "really? Detective Rebus is great, but...."
@Lizawithazee: However, McEwan's exhaustive supply of kaftans and beads would make the hours before fatwa-ed death a RIOT. Also, possible disguising opportunities.
This is super-cute! Lovely to know that, in between issuing forth short stories stretched thinly into one-note novels, McEwan is a saviour for authors threatened by / threatening Islam. I've got his back if old women named Briony ever get wind of what he's done...
@cassiemajestic: I have to admit, I loved Atonement (though it only works as a book, not as a film), and I like some of his short stories. The rest of his stuff, zzzzz. Especially Amsterdam, gah!
