Description
A magical selection of Faulkner's works: excerpts from his acclaimed novels, and unabridged recordings of stories by the writer who stands at the pinnacle of modern American fiction. Distilling an epic expanse of vision into narratives as hard and penatrating as bullets, William Faulkner's writing evokes the intimate textures of place, the deep strata of history and legend, and all the fear, brutality and tenderness of which human beings are capable. "For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterization, humor, and tragic intensity (Faulkner's works) are without equal in our time and country." -Robert Penn Warren
