Suicide Race is a collection of short stories about the Marine Corps. The heroes of these stories are young people who went through the hell of World War II and are trying to find their place in a new peaceful life. Some of them succeed, some not so much. However, all of them, just boys yesterday - lucky and unlucky, talented and the most ordinary - are forever doomed to keep in their souls the pain and horror of the war years... “Visible Darkness” is Styron’s most personal work, in which the writer talks amazingly frankly about plunging into impenetrable darkness depression. This book is written for those who are still in the “dark forest” in order to testify: “...depression has a saving quality, perhaps the only one: it can be overcome.”
