Reportedly…
In writers’ news, Nobel laureate Sir William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, has revealed in his private journal that he tried to rape a 15-year-old girl when he was 18. It also turns out that he was an alcoholic trying to sooth his demons, perhaps because as a schoolteacher, he set up groups of boys to fight in a scary precursor to Lord of the Flies.
So many writers have demons, is it necessary for the creative mind?
