Ian McEwan: What is a successful life? | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

He is a literary superstar and his books constantly provide new material for Hollywood: Ian McEwan, one of the best-known writers of our time, who is ruthless when examining the abysses of human life and love, revealing all their contradictions. Topics in this episode: 00:00 What does writing mean to you? 05:39 Does writing directly create a cinema film? 09:44 How political should literature be? 21:08 How did Ian McEwan's novel «Lessons» come about? 35:00 The lessons of life 40:35 What is the quintessence of life? 49:11 The question of guilt in the novel «Apology» McEwan's literary works have thrilled audiences for decades and have been made into movies, starring actors such as Keira Knightley, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. His books are about the ambivalence of human experience and the lessons that life teaches. His most personal book, «Lessons», which was published in 2022, maps out the entire spectrum of human life and closely ties in with the British author's biography. We are left with the question: What is a successful life? And does it even exist? As a writer, Ian McEwan often speaks out on politics. But he is not averse to withdrawing into «the belly of the whale» in the face of the dramatic world situation, as George Orwell put it and as Ian McEwan discusses in his latest essay. Is it permissible – and even possible in the digital age - to shirk political responsibility? Barbara Bleisch talks to Ian McEwan about family secrets and human guilt, about the burdens and joys of life and about his life as a writer. 🔔 Subscribe to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube now 👉 https://www.youtube.com/srfkultur?sub...
