Negative Positive
Title: Great!
Review: Before I read Styron's "Lie Down In Darkness", I couldn't understand the charges of racism regarding one of my favorite books, "Confessions of Nat Turner". Even so, this story is great and I can't imagine how anyone could not want Nat to succeed or understand his position. The "white woman infatuation" charge is ridiculous in my opinion. Nat lived in the house and was treated as an equal, the woman was kind and beautiful, it would be racist to think that Nat shouldn't be attracted to her or worthy of her love. That said, the story is much greater than that side note and wonderfully written.
