William Golding received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983, making them laureate number 80 since the prize was first awarded in 1901.
They are one of 11 laureates from United Kingdom.
Our pick for reading William Golding for the first time is Lord of the Flies. It is one of the most widely read Nobel books in the world and an easy way in.
Lord of the Flies shows how a group of British schoolboys, stranded on a desert island after a plane crash, try to organise themselves and slide into violence. It is a short, tense novel about how fragile civilisation is. It reads in a few days and is required reading in many schools.
One email on announcement day with the winner and where to start reading. Then one Nobel read a month.
