  • What an intelligent, compassionate man. At least he seems to be! I first read 'Darkness Visible' when I was sixteen and suffering from an episode of major depression with anxiety. I think it saved my life and I'm still very grateful to Mr Styron.

  • Very good

  • What an inspiring and courageous testimony. RIP Mr. Styron.

  • Such valuable information for writers and those suffering from depression. The Confessions of Nat Turner is my Styron favorite. I'm ever grateful for his military service as well. He's an American southern voice in literature that we greatly cherish and will deeply miss.
