The British novelist Ian McEwan (who’s become quite famous since) wrote a beautiful piece on
9/11 soon after it happened.I think it was from the Guardian on the 15th but I can’t post the link because something is hijacking my google searches and bringing them to some ‘sponsored links’. I think it was called Only love and then oblivion. You can get it by googling Ian McEwan 9-11
Google won’t go there for me either. Hopefully someone has it and can post it.
“Only Love and Then Oblivion”
