Praise for Solitary: FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTIONNamed a
Top 10 Best Book of the Year by Publishers WeeklyA New York Times Book Review
Editors†Choice“An uncommonly powerful memoir about four decades in confinement . . .
A profound book about friendship . . . Woodfox reminds us, in Solitary, of the tens of thousands of
men, women, and children in solitary confinement in the United States. This is torture of a modern
variety. If the ending of this book does not leave you with tears pooling down in your clavicles, you
are a stronger person than I am. More lasting is Woodfoxâ€s conviction that the American
justice system is in dire need of reform.――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 of our judicial system and in the countryâ€s prisons .
. . Itâ€s impossible to read Solitary and not feel anger . . . A timely memoir of that experience
that should be required reading in the age of the Black Lives Matter movement. Itâ€s also a
story of conviction and humanity that shows some spirits are unbreakable.――NPR
“Heart-rending . . . Solitary is Woodfoxâ€s pointillist account of an already boxed-in
childhood and adolescence in the streets of New Orleans―by his own admission, an existence
marked by ignorance and devoted to petty and increasingly serious crime―and the near entirety
of an intellectually and spiritually expansive adulthood spent in one of the most brutal prisons in
the country (and therefore the world) . . . Some of the most touching writing on platonic male
friendship I have every encountered . . . ‘We must imagine Sisyphus happy,†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 stoic philosophy.――Thomas
Chatterton Williams, New York Times Book Review“Wrenching, sometimes numbing,
sometimes almost physically painful to read. You want to turn away, put the book down: Enough,
no more! But you canâ€t, because after forty-plus years, the very least we owe Woodfox is
attention to his story . . . [Solitaryâ€s] moral power is so overwhelming . . . Solitary should make
every reader writhe with shame and ask: What am I going to do to help change this?――
Washington Post“Solitary is evidence of Woodfoxâ€s extraordinary mental resilience in the
face of relentless state cruelty. The pacing is brisk, with brief stops to reflect on the United
States†mass incarceration of black people, Woodfoxâ€s black identity, and his personal
philosophy, much of it centered on the Black Panther Partyâ€s 10-Point Program. Woven
together, these strands form an indictment of the U.S. criminal justice system that should be read

for generations.――Globe and Mail“We have had the opportunity to read a
