The author and screenwriter on why Lord of the Flies is overrated, and the most beautiful words ever written
The book I am currently reading
Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold – the story of how a piece of stage magic might have led to the death of President Harding. It’s spectacular.
The books that changed my life
Ursula K Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea. And The Gospel of Luke. Words a child could understand but which could still enrich and enchant the oldest head.
