Irish-born British novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch won the Booker Prize for The Sea, the Sea (1978), a novel about a self-satisfied film director and playwright who retires from London to an isolated house by the sea to spend the rest of his life in quiet contemplation and to write his memoirs. As he writes, figures from his past and present, some invited, descend upon his coastal retreat.
