Description
William Golding wrote three travel texts on Egypt in which he mixed the factual and the fictional. The texts reveal Golding's long process of negotiating theories of identity. This article argues that Golding's theory of human identity imparted fluidity to the meaning of the country with which he interacted, turning it into a multiple and ever-changing place that shifts its meaning with changes in human perceptions and experiences. The Egypt he discusses changes in each successive text, and as it changes, its meanings multiply and yet disengage from the actual to reterritorialize in the fantastic. **********
