Book DescriptionPraise for Solitary: FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE IN GENERAL NONFICTIONFINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION Named One of BarackObama’s Favorite Books of 2019 Named the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Book ofthe Year Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR,Publishers Weekly, BookBrowse, and Literary Hub Winner of the BookBrowse Award for BestDebut of 2019 A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice “An uncommonly powerfulmemoir about four decades in confinement . . . A profound book about friendship . . . Woodfoxreminds us, in Solitary, of the tens of thousands of men, women, and children in solitaryconfinement in the United States. This is torture of a modern variety. If the ending of this bookdoes not leave you with tears pooling down in your clavicles, you are a stronger person than I am.More lasting is Woodfox’s conviction that the American justice system is in dire need ofreform.”―Dwight Garner, New York Times “A candid, heartbreaking, and infuriating chronicle .. . as well as a personal narrative that shows how institutionalized racism festered at the core ofour judicial system and in the country’s prisons . . . It’s impossible to read Solitary and not feelanger . . . A timely memoir of that experience that should be required reading in the age of theBlack Lives Matter movement. It’s also a story of conviction and humanity that shows somespirits are unbreakable.”―NPR “Heart-rending . . . Solitary is Woodfox’s pointillist account of analready boxed-in childhood and adolescence in the streets of New Orleans―by his ownadmission, an existence marked by ignorance and devoted to petty and increasingly seriouscrime―and the near entirety of an intellectually and spiritually expansive adulthood spent in oneof the most brutal prisons in the country (and therefore the world) . . . Some of the most touchingwriting on platonic male friendship I have every encountered . . . ‘We must imagine Sisyphushappy,’ Camus famously wrote, and such a prompt is the ennobling virtue at the core of Solitary.It lifts the book above mere advocacy or even memoir and places it in the realm of stoicphilosophy.”―Thomas Chatterton Williams, New York Times Book Review “Wrenching,sometimes numbing, sometimes almost physically painful to read. You want to turn away, put thebook down: Enough, no more! But you can’t, because after forty-plus years, the very least weowe Woodfox is attention to his story . . . [Solitary’s] moral power is so overwhelming . . .Solitary should make every reader writhe with shame and ask: What am I going to do to helpchange this?”―Washington Post “Solitary is evidence of Woodfox’s extraordinary mentalresilience in the face of relentless state cruelty. The pacing is brisk, with brief stops to reflect onthe United States’ mass incarceration of black people, Woodfox’s black identity, and his personalphilosophy, much of it centered on the Black Panther Party’s 10-Point Program. Woven together,these strands form an indictment of the U.S. criminal justice system that should be read forgenerations.”―Globe and Mail “We have had the opportunity to read a new book called Solitaryby Albert Woodfox. Anyone who believes in capital punishment should read it . . . We shouldconsider the story of Albert Woodfox. How can you call for the death penalty when you know aninnocent man could be in the gallows? Is that risk civilized society can take? Not here, not now.Not ever again.”―Art Cullen, Storm Lake Times “[Woodfox’s] incredible story is necessaryreading, not only to understand our era of mass incarceration, but the entire history of the judicialsystem in America.”―Town & Country “In this devastating, superb memoir, Woodfox reflects onhis decades inside the Louisiana prison system . . . The book is a stunning indictment of a judicial
