William Styron talks about stuff

"I think we had had an enormous trauma happen to us. In the form of World War 2. It was a hellish war. Not all of us went into combat. I did not. Nor did I claim to. But I came damn close to it." [William Styron]

I like this series of interviews.

Who is the interviewer? The only annoying thing is the way that he keeps interrupting and putting words in the mouth of WS when he pauses to think. Why interrupt someone with such a great command of the English language? Its like Tiger Woods caddy running in whilst Tiger is at the top of his backlift and hitting the ball for him.

@tottenhamjake He's in the TV market. He has to keep the show going at a certain pace. Dead air for dead heads who watch TV need constant stimulation.

Charlie Rose tends to talk too much and interrupt; no doubt about it. He has the capability of being the best interviewer today, except for this flaw.

William and my Grt grand mother Leola Ross Nelson Johnson are cousins and I regret to hear he passed away. They are related in the Nelson, Fulford and Styron lines from Virginia and Carteret Co.,NC. I love and cherish my copy of Shadrach and have watch this video with my family in order for them to see the times in the 30's.
