John Fowles' Essays Collected in Wormholes

John Fowles' book Wormholes was published in 1998. No, this isn't another foray by Fowles into the realm of science fiction (a la A Maggot), but rather a collection of 30 essays, introductions, reviews and interviews--on a variety of topics--written during the last four decades.

The book is divided into five sections: "Autobiographical: Writing and the Self," which includes various essays on writing in general and what has influenced Fowles' writing in particular; "Culture and Society;" "Literature and Literary Criticism," which features Fowles' look at many famous writers such as Kafka, Hardy and Golding; "Nature and the Nature of Nature;" and "An Unholy Inquisition," a reprint of a 1995 interview of Fowles by Professor Dianne Vipond.
