Why is Golding remembered for Lord of the Flies and not this?

>Is it because LoF is readable for middle schoolers and no other reason?

Pretty much. It's easier to "get," and by "get" I mean write a simple essay on the book's themes or whatever.

Pincher Martin is also underrated and better than Lord of the Flies.

I'll have to grab that too, sounds like quite a premise. Any other Golding recs? Spire sounds like it might be good as well.

The Spire is fucking amazing

Free Fall

someone give me a rundown on that creepy deer man. Is it just for this cover, or is it from something specific, like a cave painting?

>>9733402
the book is about neandertals

>>9733402
I don't know if it's actually from something, but there's a human in the book who dresses as a deer and it terrifies the neanderthals.

It's a cave painting.

Basically.

Its like how Burgess is remembered for stuff he jotted off for money instead of Earthy Powers which he sweated blood over.

MY man. Golding gets so much better than Flies. That was just his first novel. Free Fall is fantastic, especially if you remember your Dante.
