Book of the Week - William Golding - The Man Who Wrote Lord of the Flies - Episode 1

Christian Rodska reads from John Carey's biography of the Nobel Prize-winning author. His debut novel, Lord of the Flies, was rejected by many publishers before going on to sell over 20 million copies in Britain alone. Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material from the Golding family archive, Carey explores the life and career of an often harshly self-critical novelist.
