Correct response: What is Lord of the Flies?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
William Golding’s 1954 novel Lord of the Flies was the debut work from Golding, who was teaching at Bishop Wordsworth’s School. It was said that the characters in the novel were based on some of the students he observed while teaching. The dystopian Flies is an allegory, written about a group of schoolboys marooned on an island as a way of displaying the savageness of mankind.
Lest he be described as a one-hit wonder, in the 1980s, Golding went on to win a Man Booker Prize in 1980 for Rites of Passage, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.

I wonder if, if somebody wrote their answer down really quickly and so decided they might as well write the name of the author too, but they wrote William Goldman (instead of Golding), would they have been judged for a wrong answer?
