This author wrote a collection of short stories, with one scene detailing a stage rehearsal of naked actors simulating sex, "Cocker at the Theatre." In one of his works, Jed Parry becomes psychotically convinced that Joe Rose is in love with him after they help with a hot-air balloon rescue attempt. The female protagonist of one of his works requires a manual to understand sex, foreshadowing her problems with her more adventurous new husband during their honeymoon. In addition to First Love, Last Rites, On Chesil Beach, and Enduring Love, and a book in which Robbie and Cecilia break a priceless vase in a fountain while the young protagonist looks on, an event that is a foundation for Briony's later transgressions. For ten points, name this English author of Atonement.
