Styron, William

Lie Down in Darkness [Signed]

Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1951. 2nd Printing.

Signed by William Styron with an inscription on the title page.

The bindings are tight and square with front hinge open. Text clean, light even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with a sun-faded spine and perimeter. The dust jacket with the price of $3.50, designed by George Salter has toned on the spine and the white of the rear panel. Light wear on the spine tips with a small chip on the upper rear spine corner.

The author's acclaimed First Book written when he was only 26. A precursor to his controversial 1968 Pulitzer winning Confessions of Nat Turner & National Book Award winning Sophie's Choice.  

Receiving critical acclaim, the novel traces the betrayals and infidelities—the heritage of spite and endlessly disappointed love—that afflict the members of a Southern family and that culminate in the suicide of the beautiful Peyton Loftis.
