Ian McEwan's Talk

It seems very appealing, to sit in front of an audience and answer questions about your books, and have intellectual discussions concerning themes, characters, and setting. This I experienced yesterday, when attending Ian McEwan’s conference at Biblioteca Luis Angel Arango. I, of course, was part of the audience, but it was still a very magical experience. I’ve never read any of his works, but after attending the talk yesterday, I feel like I must. McEwan seemed very particular as a writer, and this originality I admired. I liked, for example, what he had to say concerning swear words, and how they are completely useful devices. Finally, I thought it was incredible how McEwan said that for an author, writing is an experience of self-discovery and realization. In conclusion, there were many suggestions I shall take into account from now on, when trying to write something.
