Simply FaulknerWilliam Faulkner is considered to be one of the greatest--and most difficult--American writers of the 20th century. Yet, as author Philip Weinstein demonstrates, the complexity of Faulkner's writing is inextricably bound up with his genius and--on another level--is a poignant reflection of the messiness of his life. Written for a general audience, Simply Faulkner offers access to this complicated man's singular body of work and shows how, more than half a century after his death, Faulkner's novels still have much to tell us about our tumultuous society. |
