Darkness Visible
William Styron • 1990

depression memoir mental health illness
Our Take
Styron's account of his severe depression is still the best description of the disorder in literary form — not because it is scientific but because it renders the inside of it in language that non-sufferers can almost enter. The suicide attempt he does not make is described with more precision than most that are.
