The Sea, the Sea

The Sea, the Sea is a novel by Iris Murdoch. It won the Booker Prize in 1978.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

A tale of the strange obsessions that haunt a self-satisfied playwright and director as he begins to write his memoirs. Played out against a vividly rendered landscape and filled with allusions to myth and magic, Murdoch exposes the jumble of motivations that drive her characters - the human vanity, jealousy, and lack of compassion behind the disguises they present to the world.
