Summary:
Nobel Laureate and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winnerWilliam Faulkner(18971962) was one of Americas greatest and most celebrated writers, whose work reflects and, at the same time, questions the South's most deeply held values. His novelThe Sound and the Furyis frequently cited as one of the best books of all time, and all of his works powerfully explore complex societal and family issues that continue to be relevant in our own day. Yet, because of his decidedly difficult, stream-of-consciousness style, Faulkners books remain sadly unknown to many readers.
InSimply Faulkner, authorPhilip Weinsteinnot only helps us understand these challenging works, but also explains why Faulkner had to write them as he did, in an effort to capture the sheer abundance and unruliness of life. Further, in his exploration of the authors own colorful lifeincluding decades of working for a film industry he despisedWeinstein reveals a fascinating connection between Faulkners troubled personal biography and his groundbreaking fiction.
The goal ofSimply Faulkneris not to simplify the author, but, rather, to create a framework that allows us to comprehend him in his own idiosyncratic way. It strives to show us the real Faulknerwarts and complications and alland to demonstrate why his brilliant masterpieces still speak to us in a deeply meaningful way.
