Book summaryGolding explores his favorite themes--the prevalence of evil in the world and the ease with which human beings can become corrupted by it--in this neglected 1984 allegorical novel about a novelist and the biographer who is stalking him. THE PAPER MEN is famous for its surprise shocker of an ending. Media reviews"Mr. Golding's novels are famous for their last minute reversals of plot or implication. This time he has delayed the effect till the very last word of his text--and it is a stunner. To reveal more would be a sin against fiction." |
