Title: Rich and Profound
Review: Styron is unquestionably an amazingly gifted writer. In this intense depiction of clinical depression, Styron describes in the elegant prose he is so well known for, the onset of his depression, alcohol and prescription drug abuse, and he vividly recounts how it feels to be caught in the grip of mental illness and suicidal ideology, penned in a style that I've never seen in a memoir before. He later goes on to tell of his seven week stay in a hospital and his recovery.This memoir is completed by a brief biology, photos, and an actual letter. I recommend this book for anyone who suffers from depression, anyone who loves someone with depression, or anyone who is a fan of Styron's.
