Becoming Faulkner: The Art and Life of William Faulkner by Philip Weinstein
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI readers, 1.4 MB
Overview: William Faulkner was the greatest American novelist of the twentieth century, yet he lived a life marked by a pervasive sense of failure. Throughout his career, he remained haunted by his inability to master a series of personal and professional challenges: his less-than-heroic military career; the loss of his brother in an airplane crash; a disappointing stint as a Hollywood screenwriter; and a destructive bout with alcoholism. In this imaginative biography, Philip Weinstein–a leading authority on the great novelist–targets Faulkner’s embattled sense of self as central to both his life and his work. Weinstein shows how Faulkner’s troubled interactions with time, place, and history–with antebellum practices and racial division–take on their fullest meanings in his fiction. Exploring the resonance of his own unpreparedness, Faulkner invented a singular language that captured human consciousness under stress as never before. Becoming Faulkner joins Faulkner’s life and art in a bold new way, giving readers a full vantage from which to better understand this twentieth-century literary genius.
