A reader once complimented William Golding on his book, "The Lord of the Rings"-a cruel twist for a man who is famous for just one book. The title of John Carey's biography acknowledges the problem that dogged Golding ever after the success of his 1954 novel, "Lord of the Flies". But this first authorised biography confirms Golding as a writer of range and power who deserves far wider recognition. Reading it has sent this reviewer back to "Pincher Martin", "The Inheritors" and his other books with a sense of revelation.
