William Styron

Opis

How does a writer compose a suicide note? This was not a question that the prize-winning novelist had ever contemplated before. In this true account of his depression, the author describes an illness that reduced him from a successful writer to a man arranging his own destruction.

Recenzje

As short as a hangman's rope and nearly as arresting - an essay of great gravity and resonance. Never has Styron used so few words so effectively Newsweek
