Autograph Quotation Signed: "William Styron", 1p, 7¼x10¼.
Roxbury, Conn., 1977 June 1. Inscribed and captioned at lower portion:
"from the last page of The Confessions of Nat Turner to the
Rev. M.J. Forewood with greatest admiration and respect on his 100th
birthday." In full: "'Yes, I think just before I turn to greet
him, I would have done it all again. I would have destroyed them all. Yet I
would have spared one. I would have spared her that showed me Him whose presence
I had not fathomed or maybe even known. Great God, how early it is! Until
now I had almost forgotten His name. 'Come!' the voice booms, but commanding
me now: Come, My son! I turn in surrender. Surely I come quickly.
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Oh how bright and fair the morning star.'"
William Styron (1925-2006) was awarded the 1968 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for
The Confessions of Nat Turner, a first-person account of an 1831
slave rebellion. In 1980, Styron published his other best known novel,
Sophie's Choice. Fine condition.
