Double Tongue
An aged prophetess at Delphi, the most sacred oracle in ancient Greece, looks back over her strange life as the Pythia, the First Lady and voice of the god Apollo. As a young virgin with disturbing psychic powers, Arieka was handed over to the service of the shrine by her parents. She has now spent sixty years as the very medium, the torn mouthpiece, of equivocal mantic utterances from the bronze tripod in the sanctuary beneath the temple. Over a lifetime at the mercy of god and priest and people she has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes and its influence in the world. Her reflections on the mysteries of the oracle, which her own weird gifts have embodied, are matched by her feminine insight into the human frailties of the High Priest himself, a true Athenian, whose intriguing against the Romans brings about humiliation and disaster. This extraordinary short novel was left in draft at Golding's sudden death in 1993 but it is a psychological and historical triumph.
孤独就像呼吸（访谈）
十年前我在大学的图书馆读到他的小说，十年后我得以见到他。若说“机缘到来”，显得故作神秘；但事实的确是，这些年来，他是少数几位我不曾停止过关注的作家之一；并且他来到了我的故乡云南，此刻就住在离我只有三个小时车程的地方。此外，我想特别补充一点：在谋面之前，我直觉，他不会拒绝我的造访。这一点很关键也很重要。他非常友好，待人宽厚温和。只有在会话过程中，他作为“先锋小说家” 的锋芒显露出来。撇开文学，他是一个谦逊、亲切、为人着想的人。难道这些不是作为一个人最美好的品质？
