Abstract: | In this paper, we intend to examine concepts such as time and space as categories of the mind and the way they are “woven” in the textual fabric of John Fowles’s novels and short stories. Coming out of a “sense of loss”, of “insufferable incompleteness”, the act of writing becomes with John Fowles a tool for “reversing” and conquering time and for “correcting” and “supplementing” the real world, which is, as Fowles himself claims, “so wrong, so inadequate and unimaginative”. |
