JCO: John Fowles on JCO

Following John Fowles's death earlier this week, the Guardian has today
published some extracts from his journals, Volume 2 of which is due to be
published in January.

On 27 July 1972, he met JCO...

"Tom Maschler said 'God help you' when we told him she was coming and we had
expected some imperious, devouring wordwoman; instead we got someone
painfully diffident and over-conscious of the literary pecking-order (I rank
higher, it seems). I have tried but cannot read her books - they are so long
and screwed up to too high a pitch. Curious that such a frail, shy creature
should be so different in her art. I rather like her."
