Book Reviews of Collected Stories of William Faulkner
Book Review: More Than Just Southern Gothic
Summary: 5 Stars
For readers coming to Faulkner for the first time, or from having read The Sound and the Fury, the expectation is that his large collection of short fiction, some 900 pages in my edition, will be wall-to-wall southern gothic tales, post and ante-bellum stories of the south and its unique American culture. And indeed, in the Collected Stories there are tales of these aplenty. But refreshingly, Faulkner shows his great power as a writer by throwing a knuckle ball every now and again. There are a string of short stories in this collection which take place in the Great War and involve largely British characters (Turnabout). There is a story about aviators in the Great War (All the Dead Pilots). A story about homeless men in New York City (Pennsylvania Station) and even the writer writing of writers story (Artist at Home). Nothing is more refreshing to than to approach a writer the stature and reputation of Faulker, who made his bones in one type of literary fiction and realize that in addition to his well trodden paths he has range and depth of subject matter.
