About This Book

A fictionalized first-person narrative of the 1831 slave revolt in Virginia led by Nat Turner. The novel explores the psychological and religious motivations of Turner as he awaits execution in a jail cell. While a commercial success that won the Pulitzer Prize, the book remains a subject of intense debate regarding its historical accuracy and the politics of racial representation.
