Styron Dies

William Styron has died.

To me, Styron was one of the most compelling writers of the late 20th Century. He wrote brilliant fiction (Sophie's Choice, one of my favorite novels), as well as painfully insightful non-fiction, such as Darkness Visible, where he discusses his battle with depression.

Along with Philip Roth, Joseph Heller and John Updike (and others), Styron is a contemporary giant whose voice will be missed.
