520    "How do we read William Faulkner in the twenty-first 
       century? asks Michael Gorra, one of America's most 
       preeminent literary critics. Should we still read William 
       Faulkner in this new century? What can his works tell us 
       about the legacy of slavery and the Civil War, that 
       central quarrel in our nation's history? These are the 
       provocative questions that Michael Gorra asks in this 
       historic portrait of the novelist and his world. Born in 
       1897 in Mississippi, Faulkner wrote such iconic novels as 
       Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury, creating in 
       Yoknapatawpha County the richest gallery of characters in 
       American fiction, his achievements culminating in the 1949
       Nobel Prize in Literature. But given his works' echo of 
       "Lost Cause" romanticism, his depiction of black 
       characters and black speech, and his rendering of race 
       relations in a largely unreconstructed South, Faulkner 
       demands a sobering reevaluation. Interweaving biography, 
       absorbing literary criticism, and rich travelogue, The 
       Saddest Words recontextualizes Faulkner, revealing a civil
       war within him, while examining the most plangent cultural
       issues facing American literature today"--|cProvided by
