Ahead of the highly anticipated publication of his new novel, What We Can Know, McEwan reflects on a truly remarkable career which has produced so many works which are at once timeless and yet always remain in close conversation with current affairs, and looks towards to the stories he has yet to tell. Chaired by author and critic Erica Wagner.
