Postcolonial Faulkner

Catalog description

How is it that Faulkner became one of the most influential North American authors in the Third World? To answer this, we read Faulkner's "The Bear" against two of his citational novels, Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury . We then turn toward a number of Faulknerian novels from the Arab world and Latin America. We discuss theoretical texts that describe the legacies of various colonialisms.
