William Golding, the author of Lord of the Flies, the allegorical novel about childhood, admitted that he had once tried to rape a girl.
He confessed to the incident in an unpublished memoir which he wrote for his wife in an effort to explain how his own monstrous character had developed.
The attack is among the revelations about the Nobel prize-winning novelist in a new biography. It also turns out that when he was a school-teacher, Golding would pitch the boys in his care against each other in a real-life forerunner of his famous work.
John Carey, the literary critic and an emeritus professor of English literature at Oxford, has had access to the previously unseen archive of Golding, who died in his native Cornwall in 1993, aged 81.

“No worries. Hes currently being raped in hell as we speak.
You believe God is a rapist? “
Is it possible you typed “G_d” when you meant “Satan”?
I asked because if such a mistake was not made, I am unsure of the premises upon which you derived your implied assumption of the CEO of Hell.
I thought G-d was the CEO of everything.
God is in hell?
Very good. Thanks for the instructions on expert raping.
Is there an Admin Mod position open, or is it just Amatuer Hour? Reposting after a week certainly qualifies under the Four Hour Rule.
In any case, I missed it a week ago, so thanks for putting it up again.
Your religion is insane and evil.
I’ve heard that there are advance copies of the “Book of Life” floating around, but I didn’t realize you had one.
I admit I know little about the author, but if his Wikipedia entry is accurate, he was married to the same woman for 54 years until his death, and served honorably in WWII:
“During World War II, Golding fought in the Royal Navy and was briefly involved in the pursuit and sinking of Germany’s mightiest battleship, the Bismarck. He also participated in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, commanding a landing ship that fired salvoes of rockets onto the beaches, and then in a naval action at Walcheren in which 23 out of 24 assault craft were sunk.[4] At the war’s end he returned to teaching and writing.[1]”
Please point out these instructions, I don't see them.
