Clonk Clonk is one of three novellas by William Golding, published together under the title The Scorpion God in 1971.

Clonk Clonk is set in pre-historic Africa - some 70,000 years ago. A tribe lives under the heat of the African Sun. The men and women live largely separate lives, with the women taking the lead and the men being seen as stupid and feckless.
