The John Fowles Center for Creative Writing was created by Mark Axelrod at Chapman University in order to encourage and advance the art and craft of writing including fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction and film.
 The Center invites students and as well as those in the Orange County community to engage in the literary community at large.
 Writers from around the world discuss their work in a global and literary context, including subjects such as historical romances and human rights abuse.
 Each year the Center invites a distinguished group of national and international writers to share their work with the Chapman community, and the Southern California community at large.
 The center's namesake is taken from the British writer John Fowles.
Mary Catherine Gordon (born December 8, 1949) is an American writer and the McIntosh Professor of English at Barnard College.
 She is best known for her novels, memoirs and literary criticism.
The Magus (1965) is a postmodern novel by British author John Fowles, telling the story of Nicholas Urfe, a young British graduate who is teaching English on a small Greek island.
 Urfe becomes embroiled in the psychological illusions of a master trickster, which become increasingly dark and serious.
 Considered an example of metafiction, it was the first novel written by Fowles, but the third he published.
 In 1977 he published a revised edition.
The Company of Women is a novel by Irish-American author Mary Gordon.
 First published in 1981, it is a coming-of-age story which details the sheltered upbringing of a well-educated Catholic girl named Felicitas, and how her values are challenged and altered by the turbulence of the 1960s protest movement.
 The book earned Gordon a second Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize.
Lieutenant-General Robert Balfour of Balbirnie (3 May 1772 – 31 October 1837) was a son of John Balfour of Balbirnie and Mary Gordon, daughter of James Gordon of Ellon.
The French Lieutenant's Woman is a 1969 postmodern historical fiction novel by John Fowles.
 It was his third published novel, after "The Collector" (1963) and "The Magus" (1965).
 The novel explores the fraught relationship of gentleman and amateur naturalist Charles Smithson and Sarah Woodruff, the former governess and independent woman with whom he falls in love.
 The novel builds on Fowles' authority in Victorian literature, both following and critiquing many of the conventions of period novels.
A Maggot (1985) is a novel by British author John Fowles.
 It is Fowles' sixth major novel, following "The Collector, The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Daniel Martin," and "Mantissa."
 Its title, as the author explains in the prologue, is taken from the archaic sense of the word that means "whim", "quirk", "obsession", or even a snatch of music (see earworm).
 Another meaning of the word "maggot" becomes apparent later in the novel, used by a character to describe a white, oblong machine that appears to be a spacecraft.
 Though the author denied that "A Maggot" is a historical novel, it does take place during a precise historical timeframe, May 1736 to February 1737, in England.
 It might be variously classified as historical fiction, mystery, or science fiction.
 Because of the narrative style and various metafictional devices, most critics classify it as a postmodern novel.
