Selected Short Stories | William Faulkner
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
William Faulkner was a master of the short story. Most of the pieces in this collection are drawn from the greatest period in his writing life, the fifteen or so years beginning in 1929, when he published The Sound and the Fury. They explore many of the themes found in the novels and feature characters of small-town Mississippi life that are uniquely Faulkners. In A Rose for Emily, the first of his stories to appear in a national magazine, a straightforward, neighborly narrator relates a tale of love, betrayal, and murder. The vicious family of the Snopes trilogy turns up in Barn Burning, about a sons response to the activities of his arsonist father. And Jason and Caddy Compson, two other inhabitants of Faulkners mythical Yoknapatawpha County, are witnesses to the terrorizing of a pregnant black laundress in That Evening Sun. These and the other stories gathered here attest to the fact that Faulkner is, as Ralph Ellison so aptly noted, the greatest artist the South has produced.

I just posted my reflections on my recent trip to New Orleans and all the literary things I was able to see and do while in town for the day on my blog if anyone is interested in some of the amazing literary things the city has to offer.

I find that No matter how many authors or books I read I am often drawn back to those few favorite authors, Faulkner is one of them, I love his storytelling.

Quirkybookworm Love Faulkner!! 6y
Jamesmelvinmitchell @Quirkybookworm do you have a favorite? Mine is “As I Lay Dying” and “Light in August”. 6y
Quirkybookworm A Town, Go Down, Moses and Fables(1st book I‘ve read of his and I was about 12 or 13. It was on my Dad‘s shelves. I was bored that early summer and I was hooked.) 6y
Jamesmelvinmitchell @Quirkybookworm after my own heart. I love all of those. I really enjoy all of his work. He is kind of getting lost today as well as a lot of the authors of that time. 6y

Think I'm going to revisit Yoknapatawpha County with Faulkner. This man is one of my favorite authors and his ability to draw you into his stories is why I love his writing. His characters are stupendous and a few remind me of of my some relatives (most of them I didn't like). The Sartoris family has a way of growing on you after a while you just want to go and visit them, sit on their porch in the evening and listen to their history.

Sweettartlaura One of my neighbors just left a 900 page collection of Faulkner stories in our building‘s laundry room. Guess who scooped it up? 😏. Can‘t wait to dig into it! 7y
Jamesmelvinmitchell @Sweettartlaura I would die for those. You are one lucky lady. 😍 7y
