Product Overview
Alexandra Styrons parents-the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Sophies Choice and his political activist wife, Rose-were, for half a century, leading players on the worlds cultural stage. Alexandra was raised under both the halo of her fathers brilliance and the long shadow of his troubled mind. From Styrons youth and precocious literary debut to the triumphs of his best-known books and on through his spiral into depression, Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artists life. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written with humor, compassion, and grace.
