Free Fall

Free Fall (1988 reissue) by William Golding – Sold by Crappy Old Books

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Lord of the Flies comes Free Fall, a rich psychological tangle of guilt, memory, and fractured identity. First published in 1959 and reissued in 1988 by Faber and Faber, this novel dives deep into the murky waters of one man’s soul as he attempts to retrace the steps that led him from idealism to moral compromise.

Sammy Mountjoy, once a bright young artist, now a prisoner of war and a prisoner of his own choices, attempts to map out his spiritual downfall in a world where free will might be nothing more than an illusion. Told with Golding’s trademark intensity and unsettling insight, Free Fall is a haunting exploration of self-betrayal and the cost of abandoning one’s values in the face of fear and desire.

Condition: A bit yellowed, like Sammy’s conscience. Cover scuffed but intact. May smell faintly of pipe smoke and existential dread.
