This Quiet Dust : and Other Writings

This is the first of non-fiction titles from William Styron which addresses great moral issues with passion and precision.

His writing is at once meditative and engaged, personal and erudite, whether he is covering the greats of American literature, or exploring the nature of the American South.

Throughout, Styron's warmth, humour and candour, coupled with a refusal to judge, make for stirring and stimulating reading.
