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 <i>The French Lieutenant's Woman</i> and <i>The Magus</i> 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, <i>Wormholes</i> 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 <i>Wormholes</i> he indicates why this is so
