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?

I wonder how she managed to come up on stage with such an intense personal experience and rock the stage. You can feel the agony and bravery behind her words and actions. Brava!
