Mantissa by John Fowles is a metafictional exploration of the relationship between a writer, Miles Green, and his muse, Erato. The book takes place in the confines of Miles' hospital room, where he engages in dialogues with Erato, embodying the essence of his creativity. The story delves into the process of writing, with characters aware of their fictional nature, creating a playful and intellectual narrative. The interactions between Miles and Erato serve as a metaphor for the complexities of the creative process and the dynamics between male and female energies.
