Syracuse University Press Readers Guide to William Faulkner by Edmond L Volpe
The New Guide - The First Comprehensive Book Of Its Kind - Offers Analyses Of All Faulkner'S Short Stories, Published And Unpublished, That Were Not Incorporated Into Novels Or Turned Into Chapters Of A Novel. Seventy-One Stories Receive Individual Critical Analysis And Evaluation. These Discussions Reveal The Relationship Of The Stories To The Novels And Point Up Faulkner'S Skills As A Writer Of Short Fiction. Although Faulkner Often Spoke Disparagingly Of The Short Story Form And Claimed That He Wrote Stories For Money - Which Be Did - Edmond L. Volpe'S Study Reveals That Faulkner Could Not Escape Even In This Shorter Form His Incomparable Fictional Imagination Not His Mastery Of Narrative Structure And Technique.
