In the late summer of 1831, in a remote section of southeastern Virginia, there took place the only effective, sustained revolt in the annals of American Negro slavery...
The revolt was led by a remarkable Negro preacher named Nat Turner, an educated slave who felt himself divinely ordained to annihilate all the white people in the region.
The Confessions of Nat Turner is narrated by Nat himself as he lingers in jail through the cold autumnal days before his execution. The compelling story ranges over the whole of Nat's Life, reaching its inevitable and shattering climax that bloody day in August.
The Confessions of Nat Turner is not only a masterpiece of storytelling; is also reveals in unforgettable human terms the agonizing essence of Negro slavery. Through the mind of a slave, Willie Styron has re-created a catastrophic event, and dramatized the intermingled miseries, frustrations--and hopes--which caused this extraordinary black man to rise up out of the early mists of our history and strike down those who held his people in bondage.

一个南方白人作者敢于在60年代以黑人起义/暴动领袖视角写这本书,实在勇气可嘉,在(过度)推崇authenticity的今天大概不会再有人去尝试了。但是读起来真的一言难尽…要是有人夸写得好,那大概是中文翻译掩盖了很多细节。Pulitzer不可全信,有时候恐怕是某种优越心态的傲慢彰显。作者后来的抑郁症跟这本书引起的巨大争议密不可分。更佩服的还是集体写书抗议此人此书的一群黑人作家。
