ISBN: 0815630476 ISBN-13: 9780815630470 Publisher: Syracuse University Press OUR PRICE: $18.95 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: June 2004 Annotation: The new guide--the first comprehensive book of its kind--offers analyses of all Faulkner's short stories, published and unpublished, that were not incorporated into novels or turned into chapters of a novel.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 he did--Edmond L. Volpe's study reveals that Faulkner could not escape even in this shorter form his incomparable fictional imagination nor his mastery of narrative structure and technique. |
