  • His work was heavily influenced by greek philosopher, Heracleitus
  • The Collector's examination of the few and the many was a theme inspired by Heracleitus as well
  • He was against the glamorisation of the flawed, uneducated, socially misadjusted hero and The Collector reflects the same.
  •  He was inspired to write The Collector by a case in 1950s London of a boy imprisoning a girl in an air-raid shelter
  • He was motivated to write this novel after seeing a performance of the opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, which depicts a man who imprisons a woman underground
