Why the English obsession with Lord of the Flies,,,with the neglect of his better novels, I suppose a symptom of post war English nihilism,,,like the cult of Francis Bacon, Even Gullivers Travels had the ships captain,,,no such figure in Goldings novel, Now a stage adaptation,,,what next,,,LORD OF THE FLIES THE MUSICAL

Michael Boylan ... Golding himself felt much the same way. He considered the money he earned from LOTF as "Monopoly money" and wished people would pay as much attention to his later books, some of which he considered superior.

@@Kjt853 So many of his books are magnificent. I must confess, however, that LOTF utterly gripped me as a ninth grader, far more than Shakespeare, more than Dickens, and more than Twain. I grew to love those other writers, but LOTF budged something in me that let loose a flood.
