About This Item
The 1981 film of the novel was adapted by Harold Pinter, who added another layer of cinematic self-reference to the plot, and starred Jeremy Irons and Meryl Streep in what might have been a career-making role had her career not already been made. In any case, she won an Academy Award for her troubles, in spite of Pauline Kael's grumbles about the film's glacial detachment. If this is a flaw, it is a deliberate one, and one shared by Fowles's novel, for which distance is a recurring concern: emotional, temporal, geographical distance; the distance between a novel and a novelist, the distances between people unbridged by mutual understanding. 7.75'' x 5.5''. Original textured brown paper boards. Burgundy topstain. Pictorial endpapers by Tom Adams. In original unclipped (35s) gilt-lettered burgundy jacket. 445, [1] pages. Moderate scuffing to jacket edges and folds, minor spotting to fore-edge. Topstain dark.
