Book summaryThe heroine of Styron's novel is based on a Polish survivor of Auschwitz he knew when he lived in a Brooklyn rooming house in the late 1940s. The narrator--in the tradition of Fitzgerald's Nick Carraway in THE GREAT GATSBY--is Stingo, the young Southern writer who falls in love with Sophie, his upstairs neighbor, and tells her dramatic story and that of Nathan, the mad genius who loves her but is obsessed with the horrors of the Holocaust. Media reviews"'Sophie's Choice' achieves an almost palpable evocation of its place and time--Poland before and during the war, Brooklyn and Coney Island immediately after." |
