Albert Woodfox recounts his life in this memoir, Solitary. It is infused with the dangers of prison life, the effects of decades-long solitary confinement, and the exposure of judicial prejudice. The non-fiction book, written from the lens of the adult Woodfox, begins when he was born and chronicles his life until the present day. The struggles for survival and justice and the effects of institutional racism are themes within the writer’s intimate recollection of memories, feelings, and emotions.
