This book offers a discussion of seven "canonical" novels by Ian McEwan (The Cement Garden, The Comfort of Strangers, The Child in Time, The Innocent, Black Dogs, Atonement, On Chesil Beach), examining the multiple frames of their structure and meanings.

Aims to establish the applications and implications of involution: how it is used to subtly reformat a text and how it changes the meaning of a work, trapping and reinventing the reader. This work analyses the transgressive use of imagery, symbols, patterns and other textual devices.
