Description
'Pincher Martin' by William Golding is a psychological novel about Christopher Hadley Martin, a Royal Navy lieutenant who is apparently the sole survivor of a torpedo attack that sinks his ship during the Second World War. Washed ashore on a barren rock in the Atlantic, Martin struggles to survive against the cold, hunger, exhaustion and isolation while his memories gradually reveal the disturbing events of his life. As his physical ordeal unfolds, the novel increasingly blurs the distinction between reality, memory and hallucination. First published in 1956, it is a dark exploration of survival, guilt, identity and the human capacity for self-deception.
