The Hot Gates And Other Occasional Pieces

Description for THE HOT GATES AND OTHER OCCASIONAL PIECES by William Golding:

"The subjects of these pieces cover a wide range---from the English Channel's past to the English novel's future, from men's fashions to Shakespeare's Stratford, from what led William Golding to write LORD OF THE FLIES to what William Blake might expect if he brought one of his poems to a class in Creative Writing. It's a pleasurable, witty, and imagination-stirring collection." ---Maurice Dolbier, NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE
