CultureIan McEwan imagines the 22nd century in ‘What We Can Know’

Booker Prize-winning author Ian McEwan speaks with Olivia Salazar-Winspear about the 22nd-century society he invented for his latest novel, now translated into French. Its characters confront the aftermath of the great “derangement” in a world where many 21st-century capitals lie underwater, prompting discussion of the coming reckoning with the climate crisis.
