Description

Explore the remarkable literary collaboration between Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Golding and his editor of more than forty years, Charles Monteith. This collection reveals the history of a partnership that began in 1953 when Monteith rescued the manuscript for Lord of the Flies from a slush pile at Faber & Faber. After that single novel went on to sell over 25 million copies, Monteith and Golding maintained a close working relationship for decades. These letters offer a rare look into the creative process and the influence an editor can have on a writer's career. This volume is an essential read for those interested in literary history, the evolution of a master novelist, and the profound connection between author and publisher.
