Free Download Carl Rollyson, "The Life of William Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead, 1897-1934 "
English | ISBN: 0813943825 | 2020 | 512 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
William Faulkner emerged from the ravaged South―half backwoods, half defeated empire―transforming his corner of Mississippi into the fictional Yoknapatawpha County and bestowing on the world some of the most revolutionary and enduring literature of the twentieth century. The personal story behind the work has fascinated readers nearly as much as the great novels, but Faulkner has remained elusive despite numerous biographies that have attempted to decipher his private life and his wild genius. In an ambitious biography that will encompass two volumes, Carl Rollyson has created a life of Faulkner for the new millennium.
