Ian Russell McEwan (born 21 June 1948) is a British novelist and screenwriter. He began his career writing sparse, Gothic short stories. His first two novels, The Cement Garden (1978) and The Comfort of Strangers (1981), earned him the nickname "Ian Macabre." These were followed by three novels of some success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His 1997 novel Enduring Love was adapted into a film of the same name. He won the Booker Prize with Amsterdam (1998) and was awarded the 1999 Shakespeare Prize. His next novel, Atonement (2001), garnered acclaim and was adapted into an Oscar-winning film. He received the 2011 Jerusalem Prize. His later novels have included The Children Act, Nutshell, Machines Like Me and What We Can Know.
