Abstract

Faulkner's Dismal Swamp
Kronenberger, Louis | February 19, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Unvanquished" by the author William Faulkner. As writing, this is much the simplest book that Faulkner has written in a longtime. To be sure, one keeps stumbling as wilful, cluttered, sunless as ever. Faulkner is a master of sensation, the more lurid the sensation the better, and can throw marvelously strange lights over any scene he selects. But if Faulkner is fitted by neither temperament nor training to be a rational novelist, then, if he is to survive, he must move on from the company of the spellbinders to that of the seers; he must acquire and articulate a profounder moral sense.
