John Fowles wrote literary fiction that combines psychological suspense with self-conscious experiments in narration and form. The Collector follows Frederick Clegg, a socially isolated man who kidnaps art student Miranda Grey, first through his own account and then through her diary, forcing readers to compare two radically different interpretations of the same captivity. The French Lieutenant's Woman reworks the Victorian novel while openly interrupting the story and offering alternative possibilities for its ending. The Magus sends a young Englishman on a Greek island into an elaborate series of performances and deceptions. Fowles's prose is literary, unsettling and metafictional, fitting psychological fiction, postmodern historical fiction and novels about power and manipulation. Read more Less
