Should we still read William Faulkner in this new century? What can his works tell us about the legacy of slavery and the Civil War, that central quarrel in our nation's history? These are the provocative questions that Michael Gorra asks in this historic portrait of the novelist and his world. Born in 1897 in Mississippi, Faulkner wrote such iconic novels as Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury, creating in Yoknapatawpha County the richest gallery of characters in American fiction, his achievements culminating in the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature. But given his works' echo of "Lost Cause" romanticism, his depiction of black characters and black speech, and his rendering of race relations in a largely unreconstructed South, Faulkner demands a sobering reevaluation. Interweaving biography, absorbing literary criticism, and rich travelogue, The Saddest Words recontextualizes Faulkner, revealing a civil war within him, while examining the most plangent cultural issues facing American literature today. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Faulkner, William,|d1897-1962|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Faulkner, William,|d1897-1962|xCharacters|xAfrican Americans. 650 0 African Americans in literature. 650 0 Race relations in literature. 650 0 Yoknapatawpha County (Imaginary place) 651 0 Southern States|xIn literature. 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xLiterature and the war. 700 1 Barrett, Joe,|d1950-|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13504397?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781696600354_180.jpeg
