	John Fowles author of The Magus and The Collector
		John Fowles had been working as a teacher for eleven years when his first novel was published.
		John Fowles was always slightly cynical of this cult following: "I now know the generation whose mind it most attracts and that it must always substantially remain a novel of adolescence written by a retarded adolescent." Perhaps this explains why John Fowles found it necessary to drastically revise the book in 1977.
		John Fowles has only produced three novels in the fifteen years since "The Ebony Tower" but they are all very collectable, even 'Mantissa" which almost everyone agrees was a failing off from his usually very high standards.

		Fowles wrote "The Magus" years before "The Collector," but lacked the confidence to submit such a story to publishers.
		Fowles is prolix and repetitive, and spends a lot of time parading his classical education, his knowledge of languages, his appreciation of art, and--it must be admitted--his staggering skills with the language.
		Fowles almost achieved this, but not quite, leaving one with a haunting question: if one had been his editor, what would one have said to him that would have helped him make it all work, rather than--as my final assessment--snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

		In "The Enigma" (The Ebony Tower) John Marcus Fielding, a Tory member of Parliament, is described in terms that might apply to Fowles: "He feels more and more like this minor character in a bad book....

		The Collector was John Fowles' first published novel, but it reads like the work of someone far more experienced.
		Perhaps this is meant to signify that he lives so much in his head that his thoughts are inseparable from his speech.
		Fowles' skill at characterization really comes to light in this diary, where we are allowed into the mind of a captured woman who, desperate in her solitude, comes to realize her need for the company of her captor.
