In 1985 William Styron fell victim to a crippling and almost suicidal depression, the same illness that took the lives of Randall Jarrell, Primo Levi and Virginia Woolf. That Styron survived his descent into madness is something of a miracle. That he manages to convey its tortuous progression and his eventual recovery with such candor and precision makes Darkness Visible a rare feat of literature, a book that will arouse a shock of recognition even in those readers who have been spared the suffering it describes.

A depressão sob os olhos de um poeta

Um tema tão delicado e pessoal, escrito nas palavras de um grande escritor. Gostei do livro, apesar de não conseguir absorve-lo tanto quanto gostaria, tendo em vista que o li em inglês.
