A rich and varied collection of essays and writings from the internationally-acclaimed author of The Magus and The French Lieutenant's Woman.
John Fowles (Author)
John Fowles was born in 1926. He won international recognition with
The Collector, his first published title, in 1963. He was
immediately acclaimed as an outstandingly innovative writer of
exceptional imaginative power, and this reputation was confirmed
with the appearance of his subsequent works- The Aristos, The
Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Ebony Tower, Daniel
Martin, Mantissa, and A Maggot. John Fowles died in Lyme Regis in
2005. Two volumes of his Journals have recently been published; the
first in 2003, the second in 2006.
Fowles's mind is as lively, tangy and quirkily textured as
Stilton
*Observer*
A splendidly uplifting book
*Richard Mabey*
Anyone familiar with books such as The French Lieutenant's Woman
and The Magus will already know that Fowles is a perceptive and
intelligent writer, but this collection shows him to be as
fascinating and entertaining in his non-fiction as he is in his
novels. Indeed, Wormholes is something of an embarassment of
riches, there are so many marvellous things in here
*Hampstead & Highgate Express*
John Fowles is a magnificent novelist who has written two
masterpieces but who has a reluctance to give precise endings to
his stories... In the wise and beautifully written essays and
biographical pieces of Wormholes he indicates why this is so
