Four separately published volumes. All in original bindings, as issued (see below). EACH VOLUME SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. In fine condition, with only trivial imperfections (as given below). This collection includes four works by American novelist and essayist William Styron (1925-2006), including his acclaimed but controversial account of Nat Turner's rebellion--for which he won the Pulitzer Prize--and the ground-breaking "Darkness Visible," an account of Styron's struggle with depression. In the words of ANB, Styron's "empathetic portrayals of human suffering and moral transgression, skillfully told from multiple points of view, explored universal themes, transcending even national boundaries, and established him as a major writer of the postwar era." Styron was also the author of "Sophie's Choice," his final novel, which became an Academy Award-winning film. The volumes included in this collection are: 1) CONFESSIONS OF NAT TURNER.
