The themes of sex and perversion are also present in his subsequent works as a metaphor for a world dominated by an existential and moral void, where even children are denied innocence. His 1997 novel, The Child in Time won the Whitbread Prize for Fiction.

As well as novels and short stories he has written several screenplays and published many articles.
