But writing was the thing, and Mr Carey's discussion of the novels and of the process of their creation is one of the most interesting parts of the book. Fear, he believes, was Golding's sharpest emotion, the fear of writing itself being one of the worst. His books emerged painfully through many revisions, each draft being a way of postponing the final one. His tactful, patient, encouraging editor at Faber, Charles Monteith, was a lifeline to him, a friend on whom he relied more than any other during the second half of his life.
Later chapters sag, perhaps unavoidably, under the weight of Golding's gathering fame and honoursthe Booker, the Nobel. Mr Carey might have cut down on the itineraries and schedules and dinners. And what of Ann, Golding's brilliant and beautiful wife? She is glimpsed in flashes, a remark, an insight, an indispensable presence on too many reading tours, increasingly ill. Yet Golding needed her as desperately as he needed Monteith. Mr Carey ends the book with a quote from Golding's journal, a wry and moving tribute to Ann for everything she has meant to him, from bed to books. "I would never have been as happy in the one with someone else, nor have written the other with someone elseor indeed written anything."
