This novel is about history, coming-of-age, the Holocaust, survival, the legacy of slavery, guilt, lust, life’s tantalizing and everlasting perishability, and—very much—writing. Discursive, provocative, intellectually probing and emotionally wrenching, Styron’s novel fits its author’s youthful description of a great book, affording the reader, as it clearly afforded the writer, the chance to live several lives and be haunted by them ever after.

I still remember how much I cried at the crucial moment in this book.
