Description
Ian
McEwan
discusses
his
novel
,
“Amsterdam.”
He
details
the
plot
,
which
begins
with the
death
of
photographer/restaurant
critic
,
Molly
Lane
.
Molly’s
death
leads
her
many
friends
and
lovers
to
ponder
their
own
mortality
.
Two
of her
former
lovers
, a
composer
named
Clive
, and
Vernon
, an
editor
of a
failing
newspaper
,
decide
to
make
a
euthanasia
pact
. From there the
book
goes
on to
grapple
with
several
issues
,
such
as the
true
nature
of
art
and
moral
accountability
.
During
the
interview
,
McEwan
reads
a
section
from his
book
and
discusses
his
writing
process
and
background
.
When
asked
if he would
consider
adapting
the
book
for the
screen
, he
reveals
that he would
prefer
to have
someone
else
adapt
his
work
because
he
feels
that,
“When
you
make
a
screenplay
of a
novel
it
is
an
act
of
vandalism
and
it
is
far
better
to
perform
that on
other
people’s
books
and
get
them to
do
it
to
you.”
