Book Review'Sophie's Choice'a Prime ChoiceByPhilPysterDeSpite the dedicated efforts of manyicid, learned professors, all I am able) conjure up concerning the nuances of olish history is a stereotype of the oles as the political underdogs oflurope. Vaguely, they seem to be aeople who never got a grip on selfovernment, being more fascinated byie offerings of a rich internal culture; aeople therefore doomed to be tramplednder a steady stream of conquerors; aeople slurred even now by a series ofenigrating jokes.It could be this quasi-historicalerception of the Polish people, fosteredy television runs of W.W. IIropaganda movies, that makesWilliam Styron's character, Sophie;bigniew Bieganski, believable,tobably not. It's more likely thatophie becomes a real person (friend,ister, confidente, lover) to the readerdthout the need of any historicaleference other than that within theovel. Sophie lives in the world accordig to Styron - a real world by thetandards of any receptive imagination.In Sophie's Choice, William Styronreates not an alternative universe, butn overlapping one. Imaginedharacters act on the physical stages oflew York, Virginia, and Auschwitz.The Nazi death camp in Poland is theite of Sophie's personal decisionrhich forever affects her psychologicalrell-being. Auschwitz also providestyron with the opportunity to makeompelling comments on the NaziVN *epoch. Styron is striving for a definitionof human evil, working with theconception of the Nazi machine as thesymbol of evil. Popular interpretationsof the Nazis stress their somberuniforms and brutality. But costumesand torture have been part of suppressionary rule for centuries. What characterized the Nazi rule which hasimportant implications for the world of1980? Styron's answer, perhaps notoriginal but certainly most verballyprofound, is that the total conformity ofa people creates the only pure humanevil. Nazis were plumbers, businessmen, secretaries, day-laborers —ordinary people in normal occupations.The madly administrative, detailedbusiness machine in which these peoplewere involved allowed for the absolutionof any sins incurred on the job. Whenpeople are culturally forced to assumean unrelenting conformity to achievethe goals of an institution, they createreal evil, or rather, that which we term"evil".At this point, historians will be overlyanxious to point out that a great manycultural factors were at work during theHolocaust. Styron's object, though, isnot to write a history but a lesson for theyoung and old of today. "Don'tconform,*' he seems to say. "Have a lifein which you won't need to rationalizeyour responsibilities."But enough of this academic probing!It's only resulting in making Styron'swork appear mundane.

Sophie and Nathan take Stingoon a trip from which he will neverrecover. Neither will I.Styron took control of my mind for abrief period of time and in a purelymental bonding process, showed mehimself. He is a person in whose work Ican believe and in whose world I couldlive. You may say that it is a shakyrelationship, but it's an intoxicating one.And that is what a good book is all about.ripping open nerves in a manner onlyduplicated by sitting in a hot tub,consuming inordinate amounts of strongliquor, and jumping stark naked into ahalf-frozen lake.Having been rescued as a mere babefrom a sweltering jungle (seized, as itwere, from the jaws of vicious predatorsfor a Higher Purpose), I have implantedself-preservation within me as a singlewalnut is implanted within a coffeetable.
