A late novel from Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding, The Paper Men follows Wilfred Barclay, an ageing novelist pursued across Europe by an ambitious academic determined to write his biography and possess his papers. It is a darkly comic, uneasy novel about reputation, literary vanity, alcoholism, obsession and the predatory side of biography.
