John Fowles citáty
strana 2

John Robert Fowles byl britský spisovatel a esejista. Mnozí kritici řadí jeho díla na rozmezí modernismu a postmodernismu. Lze jej však považovat za prvního postmodernistického autora v tom smyslu, že se mu jako prvnímu podařilo propojit vysokou a nižší literaturu.Proslavil se především trojicí prvních románů Sběratel, Mág a Francouzova milenka. Všechny tři byly zfilmovány, k Mágovi dokonce Fowles napsal vlastní scénář. Odmítá být zaškatulkován povrchní nálepkou „romanopisec J. F.“ a svůj názor hájí v knize poznámek a myšlenek Aristos, jako jeden z mnoha motivů se tento vzdor mihne i metarománem Mantisa. Wikipedia
