Writer was a worthy foe for demon of depression : The Morning Call Online: "William Clark Styron Jr. died of pneumonia at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital on Wednesday, Nov. l, All Saints' Day. He was 81. Bill was living testimony to depression's sole vulnerability — that it can be conquered. For Bill had once struggled upward ''out of hell's black depths'' of the Inferno, through Purgatorio and into ''the shining world'' of Paradiso. That this ascent was only a temporary respite can never ever diminish his initial victory that, for a time, gave him the serenity, joy and peace that ''despair beyond despair'' had denied him."
