GOLDING ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS WRITING
GOLDING
(William, 1911-1993, Author of ‘Lord of the Flies’)
Long Typed Letter Signed to Pauline
commiserating with her for her “atrocious luck. You sound very brave about it though and I’m told doctors are working all the time towards effective repair work... I’m glad you like my books - one knows so little of one’s possible readers. Your questions aren’t so easy to answer though. I find ideas come easily? I suppose they do, when they come. That is to say one moment they aren’t and the next moment they’re there! But I seem to get them rarely. How do I record my ideas? I don’t but relie on an unreliable memory. Some have got away and I’m sure they were good. Have I a favourite time for writing? The morning is best... I have to force myself to begin... I have never written at night which makes me sound a bit dull I think. An Egyptian Journal is different from other books because it was an extended version of the journal I kept when my wife and I were in Egypt. It’s very nearly a factual account...” 1 side A4, Tullimaar, Cornwall headed paper, 30th September

saying he was "very glad to receive the approval of so eminent an antiquary as yourself to my letter in the Athenaeum ... Of course the great need is co-operation under the lead of some powerful fellow" [of the Society of Antiquaries]. "Letters to the President or Council get a polite acknowledgment and are then forgotten and the great body of the fellows know nothing of it", envisaging "some plan ... to show the council ... that the old hum-drum must give way to proper activity", 2 Park Villas, Lonsdale Road, Barnes, 14th October
