A review by aprater
The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron

3.0

Given the time period in which this book was conceived is important when considering it's worth, hindsight is not always 20/20. Racially speaking, it is deplorable and definitely raises some questions about the base of humanity but I don't think we can deny that these things have been happening for centuries and if we must remember, we should remember the good, the bad, AND the ugly. I wanted to rate this book low because the topic is so painful to experience even in reading but the truth is, well written literature should make you FEEL and this is definitely in the feelings, maybe not the good ones.
