ClassicIn prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity,
William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American
South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and
greed, futile nobility and obscene crimes. He set this legend in
a small, minutely realized parallel universe that he called
Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi.No single volume better
conveys the scope of Faulkner&#8217vision than The Portable
Faulkner. The book includes self-contained episodes from the
novels The Sound and the Fury, Light in August, and
Sanctuary the stories&#8220Th Bear,&#8221&#8220poted
Horses,&#8221&#8220ARose for Emily,&#8221and
&#8220OlMan,&#8221among others a map of Yoknapatawpha
County and a chronology of the Compson family created by
Faulkner especially for this edition and the complete text of
Faulkner&#82171950 address upon receiving the Nobel Prize
in literature. Malcolm Cowley&#8217critical introduction was
praised as &#8220plndid&#8221by Faulkner himself.For more
