Publisher's Note
193
Before writing his memoir of madness, Darkness
Visible, William Styron was best known for his
ambitious works of fiction
-
including The
Confessions of Nat Turner and Sophie's Choice.
Styron also created personal but no less
powerful tales based on his real-life experiences
as a US Marine. The Suicide Run collects five
of these meticulously rendered narratives. One
of them
—
'Elobey,
Annobón,
and
Corisco'
-
is published here for the first time.
In 'Blankenship', written in
1953,
Styron draws
on his stint as a guard at a stateside military
prison at the end of World War II. 'Marriott,
the Marine' and 'The Suicide Run'
-
which
Styron composed in the early
1970s
as part
of an intended novel that he set aside to write
Sophie's Choice
-
depict the surreal experience of
being conscripted a second time, after World
War II, to serve in the Korean War. 'My Father's
House' captures the isolation and frustration of
a soldier trying to become a civilian again. In
'Elobey,
Annobón,
and
Corisco',
written late in
Styron's life, a soldier attempts to exorcise the
dread of an approaching battle by daydreaming
about far-off islands, visited vicariously through
his childhood stamp collection.
Perhaps the last volume from one of literatures
greatest voices, The Suicide Run brings to life the
drama, inhumanity, absurdity and heroism that
forever changed the men who served in the
Marine Corps.
William Styron (1925-2006),
a native of the
Tidewater region of Virginia, was a graduate of
Duke University and a veteran of the Marine
Corps. His books include Lie Down in Darkness,
The Long March, Set This House on Fire, The
Confessions of Nat Turner, Sophie's Choice, This
Quiet Dust, Darkness Visible and A Tidewater
Morning. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for
fiction, the Howells Medal, the American Book
Award and the Legion
d'Honneur.
With his wife,
the poet and activist Rose Styron, he lived for
most of his adult life in Roxbury, Connecticut,
and in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts.
