William Styron, 1967Styron’s challenging, rigorous, and still-controversial novel is fictionally presented as a first-person narrative by the historical figure Nat Turner, who led an actual slave revolt in 1831. Turner claimed to have been divinely inspired, to lead a slave uprising. Styron writes, with great insight and power, about highly sensitive issues of race, sex, forbidden love, tyranny, injustice, and hope.
