Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This third volume of Faulkner's works to join the venerable Library of America contains the novels Go Down, Moses, Intruder in the Dust, Requim for a Nun, and A Fable. The volume incorporates texts restored by editor Polk to Faulkner's original vision sans early editorial deletions and alterations. Also included are notes by Blotner and a chronology of Faulkner's life. Essential for American literature collections.

Product Description
The years 1942 to 1954 saw Faulkner's greatest success--and greatest inner anguish. Plagued by depression and alcohol, he knew he had more to achieve and a finite amount of time and energy to achieve it. This volume gathers four groundbreaking works from this fascinating period. "Go Down, Moses" is a haunting novel that explores the intertwined lives of black, white, and Indian inhabitants of Yoknapatawpha County. It includes "The Bear," one of the most famous works in American fiction. "Intruder in the Dust," a detective novel, is a compassionate story of a black man on trial and the growing moral awareness of a southern white boy. "Requiem for a Nun" tells the fate of a passionate, haunted Temple Drake and her tortured redemption. "A Fable," Faulkner's recasting of the Christ story set in World War I, earned him the Pulitzer Prize.
