A literary criticism is presented of the 2001 British fictional book "Atonement," by Ian McEwan. Particular focus is given to the protagonist Briony Tallis's efforts to have her writing published, including in regard to the English literary critic (the author mixes this nonfictional person in his fiction) Cyril Connolly's rejection letter that responded to Briony's efforts to have her short story published in the (nonfiction) magazine "Horizon." The turning points in the novel are discussed.
