“There have been so many interpretations of the story that Im not going to choose between them. Make your own choice. They contradict each other, the various choices. The only choice that really matters, the only interpretation of the story, if you want one, is your own. Not your teachers, not your professors, not mine, not a critics, not some authoritys. The only thing that matters is, first, the experience of being in the story, moving through it. Then any interpretation you like. If its yours, then thats the right one, because whats in a book is not what an author thought he put into it, its what the reader gets out of it.” ― William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, was born today, September 19, 1911.
