Description
“Free Fall” is a novel by William Golding, the acclaimed author best known for “Lord of the Flies.” Published in 1959, “Free Fall” is a psychological exploration of the protagonist’s inner turmoil and moral dilemmas.
The story is narrated by Sammy Mountjoy, a successful artist who reflects on his life while recovering from a fall in a mental institution. Through his fragmented and introspective narration, the reader is taken on a journey through Sammy’s past, including his troubled childhood, his experiences in World War II, and his relationships with various women.
As Sammy delves into his memories, he grapples with questions of identity, guilt, and the nature of truth. Golding’s prose is dense and philosophical, inviting readers to ponder existential questions and the complexities of human nature.
“Free Fall” is a challenging yet rewarding read, offering a profound exploration of the human psyche and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
