Vedic Horoscope for Styron, William
American writer, the author of "Sophie's Choice" and "Darkness Visible," a best seller of 1990. The book is a profound description of depression, a disorder that affects some 10-to-20 million Americans. The unspeakable darkness which people experience makes suicide a response to unbearable pain. Stricken by the illness in 1985 at the age of 60, he stressed the difference between everyday blues and the blanketing darkness that makes life a horror.Frances McEvoy quotes Karen Thorne from him; he answered without hesitation
