In Between the Sheets
In Between the Sheets | Ian McEwan
1 post | 8 read | 3 to read
Whether these are the written transcripts of dreams or deadly accurate maps of the tremor zones of our psyche, all seven stories in this collection implicate us in the most fearful ways imaginable. In one, a two-timing pornographer becomes the unwilling object in the fantasies of one of his victims. In another, a jaded millionaire buys himself the perfect mistress and plunges into a hell of jealousy and despair. In another, over the course of a weekend, a guilt-ridden father with his teenage daughter discovers the depths of his own blundering innocence.

McEwan's second short story collection, all on a common theme (one guess). Intentionally dark and disturbing but also feel dated. Experimental but with no payoff. I ❤️ McEwan as a rule but these were b.a.d. 👎🏻👎🏻
