57. The Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding

A group of kids are left stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. While there, the children begin to form society. In that society come contrasting ideas which leads to two dividing factors. At what point does the straw snap? Jason Crockett joins us, and we're asking the tough questions. At what point do people feel as if they have been pushed far enough? How do you keep doing what is right when the other side is winning and it looks so good? Where does Lord of the Flies land in British canon? Is it comparable to The Hobbit? Narnia? Harry Potter? We talk about these and more in this week's episode.Thanks for listening!Today's resources:Lord of the Flies by William GoldingTheme song for A Deadman's Books: Surfing! by automaticbananas#booktube #booktok #bookstagram #ReadersofYouTube #Bookish #CurrentlyReading #BookCommunity #BookRecommendations #BookReview #BookLovers #Lit #Literature #author #LOTF #lordoftheflies #british #classic #britishlit Hosted on Acast.
