Talk:John Fowles

message: ...when Woody Allen was later asked whether he would make changes in his life if he had the opportunity to do it all over again, he jokingly replied he would do "everything exactly the same, with the exception of watching The Magus."[11]
IN THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE ON THE FILM "THE MAGUS," THIS QUOTE IS ATTRIBUTED TO PETER SELLERS.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:A2B3:AC00:3090:CD33:97FF:81D1 (talk) 13:18, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: I don't know about anyone else,but my first impression upon reading this, in the first couple of paragraphs was "What? Who . . .?" and found I had to keep going back in the narrative to see who was who and what was going on.
It just seems poorly organized and Frankenstinian in its writing style, as if four different people were writing one sentence after another's. Just my impression.  
To wit: almost a complete non-sequitur, coming (and going) seemingly out of nowhere:"The work of Richard Jefferies and his character Bevis were Fowles's favourite books as a child." Is that the defining event of his entire childhood? That's it -- nothing more is said. Bizarre.
