"Styron is pre-eminent . . . in his instinct for tragedy and in his respect for the sheer force of human feeling."--Alfred Kazin In an age when much American writing was either glacially noncommittal or heremetically personal, William Styron persisted in addressing great moral issues with incendiary passion. Seriousness and ardor characterize all the essays in This Quiet Dust , the first book of nonfiction by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lie Down in Darkness and Sophie's Choice . In this edition, which has been updated with the inclusion of six previously uncollected essays, Styron covers a wide range of concerns; yet whether he is recounting his search for the historic Nat Turner, peering into the abyss of Auschwitz, navigating the battlefields of Vietnam and Chicago in 1968, or offering fresh assessments of Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, James Jones, and Robert Penn Warren, Styron is always a consummate literary stylist. One who is as engaging as he is engaged. "[Styron is] the most accomplished craftsman, and one of the most penetrating witnesses of our life."-- Associated Press
