大象传媒

The first biography of publicity-shy author William Golding.

His debut novel was rejected by many publishers before going on to sell over 20 million copies in the UK alone.

Drawing on a vast wealth of previously-unpublished material in the Golding family archive, biographer John Carey explores the life and career of an often violently self-critical novelist who won the Nobel prize for literature.

Written by John Carey.

Omnibus of five parts abridged by John Carey.

Read by Christian Rodska.

Producer: Bruce Young.

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in September 2009.
