Saturday. Signed by Ian McEwan. First Edition, First Printing. Jonathan Cape. London, 2005.

Ian McEwan has published some of the best novels and story collections of the last several decades. He’s also an acclaimed screenwriter, often reproducing his novels into award-winning films. His list of awards and accolades is long–he’s been nominated for the Booker prize several times, he’s won the Shakespeare Prize and the Jerusalem Prize, and he’s a member of the Royal Society of Literature. Among his many literary accomplishments, Saturday stands out as one of his bestselling and most critically acclaimed works. It is a character study about a British neurosurgeon who, in a full day, reflects on the historic backdrop of the Iraq War and becomes the victim of criminal violence. It is a work purely situated in literary fiction, but managed to reach the bestseller lists. It remains one of McEwan’s best novels.
