In Camera and The Flies

Naomi Naomi Naomi

I read this my first year of uni, at lunch in the library (yes, I know, I'm a nerd). Anyway, I read it by chance and along with 'Six Characters in Search of an Author', and 'Waiting for Godot'. The three plays changed my tastes in performance, and also my own playwriting style. I spent 6 years searching for my own copy of The Flies, and was about to spend $10 photocopying one from a library, when by pure chance I stopped in a secondhand bookstore. It was across town from where I live, and wouldn't have seen the store except that I drove past it in order to park near another store. They had this copy, and I bought it for $6. The Flies can no longer be found in print, anywhere in the world. And I'm very happy I decided to go into that store.
