Specificatii
Between 1930 and 1935, William Faulkner came into full possession
of the genius and creativity that made him one of America's finest
writers of the twentieth century. The four novels in this Library
of America collection display an astonishing range of characters
and treatments in his Depression-era fiction. As I Lay Dying (1930)
is a combination of comedy, horror, and compassion, a narrative
woven from the inarticulate desires of a peasant family in
conflict. It presents the conscious, unconscious, and sometimes
hallucinatory impressions of the husband, daughter, and four sons
of Addie Bundren, the long-suffering matriarch of her rural
Mississippi clan, as the family marches her body through fire and
flood to its grave in town.Sanctuary (1931) is a novel of sex and
social class, of collapsed gentility and amoral justice, that moves
from the back roads of Mississippi and the fleshpots of Memphis to
the courthouse of Jefferson and the appalling spectacle of popular
vengeance. With its fascinating portraits of Popeye, a sadistic
gangster and rapist, and Temple Drake, a debutante with an affinity
for evil, it offers a horrific and sometimes comically macabre
vision of modern life.Light in August (1932) incorporates
Faulkner's religious vision of the hopeful stubbornness of ordinary
life. The guileless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her
unborn child; the disgraced minister Gail Hightower, who dreams of
Confederate cavalry charges; Byron Bunch, who thought working
Saturdays would keep a man out of trouble, and the desperate,
enigmatic Joe Christmas, consumed by his mixed ancestry--all find
their lives entangled in the inexorable succession of love, birth,
and death.Pylon (1935), a tale of barnstorming aviators in the
carnival atmosphere of an air show in a southern city, examines the
bonds of desire and loyalty among three men and a woman, all
characters without a past. Dramatizing what, in accepting his Nobel
Prize, Faulkner called the human heart in conflict with itself, it
illustrates how he became one of the great humanists of
twentieth-century literature. The Library of America edition of
Faulkner's work publishes, for the first time, new, corrected texts
of these four works. Manuscripts, typescripts, galleys, and
published editions have been collated to produce versions that are
free of the changes introduced by the original editors and that are
faithful to Faulkner's intentions.
