by John Carey, John Carey
Popularity 6
Through letter, unpublished works and Golding's intimate journals, the author draws a revelatory and definitive portrait of an extraordinary man. He reveals a many-sided figure: a war hero, a reclussive depressive, a family man, a victim of fears and a writer who trusted the imagination above all things.
