Set in 1831, The Confessions Of Nat Turner tells--in his own words--of a black man who awaits death in a Virginia jail cell. His name is Nat Turner and he is a slave, a preacher, and the leader of the only effective slave revolt in the history of that 'peculiar institution.'
Review:
"This is a first-rate novel...and the best by an American writer that has appeared in some years...Styron maintains throughout his narrative a consistent and highly imaginative realism not only on the object plane, but also by recreating the intimate psychology of his characters...In a way inconceivable, even for Faulkner, Styron's prose master."
Philip Rahv, New York Review of Books, 10/26/67
Review:"Styron has freely, with luxurious imagination, reconstructed Nat Turner's life from the 20-page confession to the court that then had him hanged...The real achievement of this beautiful, curious, essentially dreamlike narrative is [that Styron] has been able to create with his honest sense of the tragic, a man whom the locked-up force of daily, hourly, constant suppression has turned into a Stranger--someone who remains single, separate, wholly other from ourselves and our notions...What we have here is a wonderfully evocative portrait of a gifted, proud, long-suppressed human being who began to live only when he was sentenced to die."
Alfred Kazin, Book World, 10/8/1967

Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 1993. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reissue. 210 x 140 mm. Brand New Book. "In the late summer of 1831, in a remote section of southeastern Virginia, there took place the only effective, sustained revolt in the annals of American Negro slavery. "The revolt was led by a remarkable Negro preacher named Nat Turner, an educated slave who felt himself divinely ordained to annihilate all the white people in the region. The Confessions of Nat Turner is narrated by Nat himself as he lingers in jail through the cold autumnal days before his execution. The compelling story ranges over the whole of Nat's Life, reaching its inevitable and shattering climax that bloody day in August. The Confessions of Nat Turner is not only a masterpiece of storytelling; is also reveals in unforgettable human terms the agonizing essence of Negro slavery. Through the mind of a slave, Willie Styron has re-created a catastrophic event, and dramatized the intermingled miseries, frustrations--and hopes--which caused this extraordinary black man to rise up out of the early mists of our history and strike down those who held his people in bondage.
