INTERVIEWER: Author and historian Shelby Foote, how would you describe William Faulkner?
FOOTE: That'd be difficult to do, uh... one thing about him is, Faulkner was about five feet four.

Honestly we should stop reading faulkner. Not only are his books bad, racist and sexist, but the dude was literally a descendent of slave owners and wife swapped with a black couple to understand what it was like to sleep with a black woman. He had to beg his wife to come back to him and hit the woman until she called him thomas. Her husband kicked his ass and for years he poured his white guilt into so many shit books.

>descendent of slave owners
Statistically, this made him 94% likely to be of Jewish ancestry given industrial slaveholder ownership percentages by race at the time of the Civil War — perforce, you are a bigot and antisemite: Faulkner is a luminary of Judeo-American literary lights along with Bloom, Sontag, Bukowski et. al.

Yeah that's pretty lame, but for some reason like half of notable authors have some major lie like this about their life in their backstory. Doesn't make it alright, but Ijs

Citations are a complete meme and Foote never presented himself as a historian. His book is subtitled "A Narrative" for a reason.

[Anonymous No.18109388]

Progressives should stop reading him because his white guilt and racists should stop reading him because he wasn't overtly racist enough.

I do not allow disrespect to Mr. Faulkner of any kind. Yes, unfortunately he was an American, but tragedies happen. I'll let that slide given the fact that he was a tomboy appreciator.

Also Quentin's part in The Sound and the Fury was a milestone that no other burger author could've ever hoped to achieve.

[Anonymous No.18110717]

>>18110649
You literally cannot seperate Faulkner from America. His works at their core are about America, even the one novel about world war one. To divorce Faulkner from America is like divorcing Joyce from Ireland. You must simply come to terms with your anti-American bias and admit that Americans aren't the devil.

OP here, while I find these criticisms of Big Faulk to be quite funny, I agree with you. The first half of this book and Part II (Quentin) in particular are canon quality. But still we can admit the man was short.

No idea (The quote is from a book called One Matchless Time: A Life of William Faulkner), but its a nicer, less offensive thought than Faulkner's wife getting BBC'd and refusing to come back to him until he beat her senseless like >>18106017 says (also he still hasn't told us where his quote is from so he probably just pulled it out of his ass)

lol the current view is basically pure revision. we've had to cope so hard that we took the original wave of scholarly work on the war, done almost totally in the north, and called it the "myth of the lost cause"

Faulkner is actually a noted adulter who fucked several students who went on to write books and novels about the experience. He also fucked the widow of the guy who won him the Nobel prize. The wife swapping story however, is bullshit
