Friday, November 19th, 2010The Literary Genius of William Faulkner
Monday, August 2nd, 2010Faulkner, Faulkner, Faulkner – the curse of the crowd and a crowd of students lives trying desperately to decipher his exquisite works, his novels are far from being easily accessible, they are very complex and at first appears quite chaotic. All novelists rely on their imagination to release it, think that there, the letters are formed around the ideas that are derived, and instead of words on paper … and voila, a book was born. Faulkner meantime, skip steps, he put his imagination on the page, and the unpredictable world, confusing fantasy, as an individual are his novels, blur and confusing and annoying and amazing. Time, time, Faulkner moved relative to our normal perception, more than one ground drip Dali, it is devastating to the normal form and sends us reeling in a desperate game of catch up. Faulkner seen as the not so organized and easy to tame, he rocked it looked like a wild animal, depending on how you want, and then reading his work was never easy. From time to time may Crystal Joyce Faulkner throws the kitchen sink seems full of images, flashbacks and stream of consciousness, the reader is lost in the swirling maze. It was not always so, in his early novels, time is even more normal and familiar to tinker with our feelings may initially sniffed Sartoris (1929) and there are many memories that completely obscure the real time of work.
For the moment Sartoris in a cyclical phenomenon with the past is interpreted and scrutinized constantly. In the same year, Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury finished in which he has abandoned all the politeness, the logical extension of time. The history that is often too difficult to get to halt the decline of the Compson family once noble South. The Sound and the Fury (1929) in the same fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, Sartoris had set, marking the beginning of what would become an obsessive chronicle of what his actual domicile of Lafayette County, Mississippi, covering the fifteen novels be. They cover the decades of civil war during the Depression tells the tragic story of the disintegration of the old South. Faulkner followed the sound and fury, As I Lay Dying (1930), which may be incredible in six weeks wrote while working the night in a power plant. He focused on the disease, death and burial of Addie Bundren matriarch, composed of interior monologues spoken by people who knew Addie, mainly members of his family. The result is a grotesque, monstrous, ugly, Cat on a virtual pilgrimage, Addie applies away from the loving family, she buried in his hometown of Jefferson. It has been hailed as one of the greatest novels of Faulkner, but he gained little commercial success at the time of publication. Faulkner again away from traditional methods of writing used, perhaps to deter readers, but time proved to be worth the book itself, it is more colorful characters, the narrative tone exciting and complex was much too original to be ignored.
fame and commercial success came on his fifth novel, Sanctuary (1931), although unfortunately his publishing company in bankruptcy, in the absence of Faulkner pay the levy. The novel was viewed with some contempt, which was achieved mainly on public access that Faulkner’s novel was purely to make money and he was disgusted with himself wrote. Maybe it was the novel the reader disgusts us, but only for its content, the novel is in one word: excellent. Sanctuary challenges his readers, is a menagerie of monstrous, page long sentences, and the subtle details that need to be reminded, are serious obstacles, but bear with them and once again Faulkner provides a wonderful job. Faulkner began the nightmare in his novel the following year, Light in August (1932), at the age old problem of burden of race in the Deep South, as the work of Joe Christmas in the pursuit of identity , total confusion to follow, as if he white or black. His next novel, Pylon (1935) in two ways – it was published three years after its previous efforts, not the usual one-year turnaround and it has not been fixed in the apocryphal Yoknapatawpha County, but in a thinly veiled New Orleans. It was by most critics, who panned so far too melodramatic, but Hollywood rushed upon him, he tuned into a movie of the Tarnished Angels with Rock Hudson. Well, this is the first time that anything could equal force Faulkner has been produced, but he followed her, with what many critics consider his masterpiece.
Absalom, Absalom! (1936), the following year, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature, Faulkner had taken his place among the greatest writers ever written. His acceptance speech was dull and weak, typical of the timidity of Faulkner, but when it was published the next day was to him, welcomed the eloquence and brilliantce often celebrated as the speech acceptance of the Nobel Prize ever awarded. 1954 finally saw the publication of the story that Faulkner had spent a decade on the sweat and thought it would be his masterpiece. The critics thought otherwise, if it did land a Pulitzer Prize in 1955. It was in the trenches of France is based in the First World War, it seemed every time he has left the county of Yoknapatawpha, critics and readers are dissatisfied, desperate, encouraged to return. He has done in the Reivers (1962), it would be the last time that Faulkner was sad to die the following year. It was a rare type of writer he was a genius in his profession, which is to revolutionize an unwavering commitment to his art has helped in the south of world literature and to transform the novel. From the beginning, it was him in the love of art, its previous efforts were rejected, but he refused, one ounce of compromise, was devoted to his vision, he decided to meet the write. It would, he thought writing for the drawer on its own terms, instead of writing for the masses and not true to himself. But something so original and just great that it produces can not be contained, it spread and spread, everyone recognizes a master writer, although he often drove him mad with his readers his complicated stories about the rewards of perseverance readers have been more than worth all the same thing could be said of Faulkner. returned to familiar territory, that the story is mainly motivated by Quentin Compson The Sound and the Fury, describes the rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen. Once again, Faulkner does not criticize the elements beyond the Deep South, this time against the morals and ethics of slavery. Aesthetically, it was also irritated that he was so that readers would be interpreted differently, depending on how much of the evidence they collected and therefore whether they would be able to separate what is true, what has been written incorrectly. April 1940 saw the publication of the hamlet, the first part of a trilogy of novels representing Snopes, a poor family in the South, which again seems to be) in the City (1957) and The Mansion (1959th But Lower sales of his novels and continued after the release of Go Down, Moses (1942), he returned to Hollywood to write back to the screen. In this passage, he received credit for writing screenplays have or not, The Big Sleep and southerners. Great movies they were, no doubt, but he longed to write the screenplay for Faulkner, Hemingway Have and Have Not. Aptly, the American public had left her job, although that, according to Jean-Paul Sartre, Faulkner is a god in France. But the publication of The Portable Faulkner, an anthology of his work in 1946 led to renewed interest in his work. It seems to have rejuvenated Faulkner, when he joined her first novel, completed in six years, he has been Intruder in the Dust (1948), and it would put tremendous applause for Faulkner, when MGM bought the rights and shot the film right in the hometown of William Faulkner ‘ Oxford, Mississippi.
