William Faulkner was a master of the short story. Most of the stories in this collection are drawn from the greatest period in his writing life, the 15 or so years beginning in 1929, when he published The Sound and the Fury. They deal with many of the themes found in the novels and with the subjects and characters of small-town Mississippi life that are uniquely Faulkner's. Filled with common themes of betrayal, greed and murder, but peppered with the haunting darkness that stands at the core of his writing, The Selected Short Stories of William Faulkner dives face-first into Yoknapatawpha County. | Selected Short Stories by William Faulkner, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
