Wormholes may not seem the most appealing or appropriate label for this often lively collection of John Fowles' essays. But the book is a collection of opinion pieces on many worms that have bored holes into the author's mind over several decades: culture and society; on being English; Conan Doyle; Thomas Hardy's England; Americans; etc. At rear is an interview with Fowles by Dianne Vipond.
