Darkness Visible - William Styron

This was a memoir, focused mainly on William Styron's battle with depression. If you had read Sophie's Choice, you can pretty much be assured that the creator was going to be depressed for a while. I can't imagine going unscathed after that experience. The tone of this very small (84 pages) book was pretty self congratulating and didn't improve my opinion of William Styron at all. I found the descriptions of depression to be vivid and helpful when trying to understand what someone with depression is going through.
