《最初的愛情，最后的儀式》是英國“國民作家”麥克尤恩的處女作兼成名作，榮獲毛姆文學獎，“恐怖伊恩”的綽號由此而誕生。
八個短篇分別經(jīng)由青少年男性的視角出發(fā)，講述了八段情節(jié)各異卻又情緒共通的故事，或恐怖或暴烈，或殘酷或變態(tài)，或荒唐或魔幻，同時卻既溫柔又感傷；就像每個人都會經(jīng)歷的瘋魔而又傷感的青春期，是每個人都可以從中燭照出自我的“青春殘酷物語”。
伊恩?麥克尤恩（1948—），本科畢業(yè)于布萊頓的蘇塞克斯大學，于東英吉利大學取得碩士學位。從一九七四年開始，麥克尤恩在倫敦定居，次年發(fā)表的第一部中短篇集就得到了毛姆文學獎。此后他的創(chuàng)作生涯便與各類獎項的入圍名單互相交織，其中《阿姆斯特丹》獲布克獎，《時間中的孩子》獲惠特布萊德獎，《贖罪》獲全美書評人協(xié)會獎。近年來，隨著麥克尤恩在主流文學圈獲得越來越高的評價，在圖書市場上創(chuàng)造越來越可觀的銷售記錄，他已經(jīng)被公認為英國的“國民作家”，他的名字已經(jīng)成為當今英語文壇上“奇跡”的同義詞。
