Class Details
William Faulkner was a great writer in two ways. First, he was the most interesting formal innovator of all the novelists of American modernism (as in The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying). Second, he was a strange and provocative theorist of race (as in Go Down, Moses and Absalom, Absalom!). We shall consider both of these dimensions of Faulkner, and what they have to do with each other. . In addition, Faulkner was determined, on whatever theme he considered (sexuality, the family, money, death, time), to push speculation to its limit, and prose to its limit in turn. We shall follow these themes insofar as they absorb us.
