Sophie's Choice by William Styron
5.0
Young aspiring writer from the South moves to Brooklyn.
Just finished my second reading. The first time I was much closer to the narrator's age (22), and now (29) the parts of the book that were so shocking to me seem less so, and I think I may have connected with the more subtle, and deeply moral, themes of the story.
Stylewise, it's more flowery than I remember. The language and its flow is decidedly Southern, and I guess in this day and age it is a bit outré for less attuned readers. But I forgive you, Willie Styron!
