First Love, Last Rites is the debut and acclaimed work of British author and Maugham Prize winner McEwan. The eight short stories, each told from the perspective of a teenage boy, offer a diverse yet shared narrative. These stories range from terrifying to violent, cruel to perverse, absurd to magical, yet simultaneously tender and poignant. These stories, reminiscent of the frenzied and melancholic adolescence we all experience, offer a glimpse into the inner workings of a youth.
