ALS, one page, 8.25 x 11.5, Ebble Thatch, Bowerchalke, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Board Chalke 275 letterhead, November 1. Golding responds to a letter from Professor Udelsen of Nashville, Tennesee who had written to congratulate him on winning the 1983 Nobel Prize for Literature, in full: “Thank you for your kind and affectionate letter. I remember Nashville well - in particular a mysterious clock in the restaurant across the street from the campus, which went backwards! I have never solved this mystery and can only think that Einstein was once in those parts. I'm sure you'll understand that the Nobel Prize has snowed me under with work and this brief note is all I can manage.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, postmarked November 3, 1983, and addressed in Golding’s hand. Golding once lectured at Vanderbilt in 1961, not long after becoming a literary superstar for Lord of the Flies.
