William Faulkner's profound exploration of mortality in his fiction is brought to life in "William Faulkner and Mortality: A Fine Dead Sound." This groundbreaking study is the first comprehensive examination of death in Faulkner's works, challenging previous scholarly interpretations that saw writing as a means of denying death. Through meticulous close readings of six pivotal masterpieces, including "The Sound and the Fury," "As I Lay Dying," "A Rose for Emily," "Light in August," "Absalom, Absalom!" and "Go Down, Moses," the book delves into the complex experiences of human mortality that confront Faulkner's characters. From the depths of grief and bereavement to the haunting echoes of mourning and violence, these characters are pushed to the brink, ultimately finding solace in the embrace of death.
"William Faulkner and Mortality" distinguishes sharply between Faulkner's pursuit of literary immortality through his writing and the desires for death expressed by the central characters in the analyzed works. By examining these characters' journeys, the book sheds light on the profound existential questions that permeate Faulkner's literature, exploring themes of mortality, loss, and the human condition.
This innovative study not only offers a fresh perspective on Faulkner's oeuvre but also contributes to ongoing discussions within Faulkner scholarship. It challenges established narratives and provides a valuable alternative voice, enriching our understanding of this iconic American writer and his profound exploration of the human experience.
