Ian McEwan, author of several books including ATONEMENT and ON CHESIL BEACH, has written the libretto for an opera.
He focuses on two elements: sexual obsession and "overweening artistic self-regard... It's the notion that the creative artist lives by different rules, which I think is a disastrous notion, and a foolish one, because it suggests a lack of connection to other people."
