Fowles got his revenge on a film industry that butchered his stories and turned them into joke fodder for Woody Allen. In his ambitious novel Daniel Martin (1977), Fowles builds his story around a British dramatist who leaves theater behind for the more lucrative Hollywood screenwriting trade. He is embarrassed at his sell-out, and keeps promising himself that he willreturn to more serious writing—another play or perhaps even a novel. But he always signs on for one more movie.
