William Faulkner
The Fractured Narrative and the Southern MythosBy Alex Omberg
Length55m
About this audiobook
THE SOUL OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH
William Faulkner constructed a moral universe on a postage stamp of native soil, proving that the past is never dead—it is not even past. In this definitive guide, Alex Omberg navigates the tangled roots of Yoknapatawpha County and the fractured narratives that defined Southern Gothic.
Inside, you will discover:
The genealogy of the Compsons and the rise of the Snopes.
The temporal distortions of The Sound and the Fury.
The cubist portrait of grief in As I Lay Dying.
The reconstruction of history in Absalom, Absalom!
The clash between old aristocracy and modern pragmatism.
This book decodes the stream-of-consciousness techniques and the heavy burden of history that make Faulkner a literary giant.
Enter the world of the high modernists. Scroll up and buy now.
