Description

A work of serious personal courage and a literary tour de force, this bestseller is Styron’s true account of his descent into a crippling and almost suicidal depression. Styron is most likely the primary creator to convey the whole terror of depression’s psychic landscape, in addition to the illuminating path to recovery.
In 1985 William Styron fell victim to a crippling and almost suicidal depression, the similar illness that took the lives of Randall Jarrell, Primo Levi and Virginia Woolf. That Styron survived his descent into madness is something of a miracle. That he manages to convey its tortuous progression and his eventual recovery with such candor and precision makes Darkness Visible a rare feat of literature, a book so that they can arouse a shock of popularity even in the ones readers who have been spared the suffering it describes.
