Description

Styron, William

Lie Down in Darkness

Salter, George. Hard Cover. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1951. First Edition. Near Fine / Dust Jacket Included.

First edition, first printing of Styron's first book. Signed and inscribed by Styron on the title page. Original publisher's cloth, dust jacket. Very good or better with some fading to cloth; in a bright unclipped jacket with some minor wear, a few minor nicks and tiny tears. Styron published his first novel, Lie Down in Darkness, at the young age of twenty-six. After graduating from Duke University, he worked briefly as a reader for the McGraw-Hill Company in New York City. After being fired, Styron set out on what would prove to be an extremely successful writing career, beginning with this text. Lie Down in Darkness contains many of Styron's hallmark traits: a Southern setting, complicated race relations, an emotionally torn family, and macabre flavoring. In this story, Styron tells of the Virginian Loftis family and the events leading up to their daughter Peyton's suicide.
