Description

Styron's true account of his experience of crippling depression. He is perhaps the first writer to convey the full terror of depression's psychic landscape, as well as the illuminating path to recovery.

A literary tour de force that chronicles a prize-winning author's descent into an almost suicidal depression. A work of great personal courage and a literary tour de force.
