“I thought Lord of the Flies was one of the great rip-offs of our time. Complete steal from A High Wind In Jamaica. He just literally lifted the entire theme, plot, and virtually characterization from A High Wind In Jamaica, turned them into a bunch of small boys and placed it on an island. Otherwise it's precisely the same novel.” Lord Of The FliesWilliam GoldingA High Wind In JamaicaRichard Hughes Book:Conversations with Capote Source: Conversations with Capote
