Description
While the essays in this volume explore various aspects of Faulkner's rich and inexhaustible comic art, they all hold in common one axiom: that William Faulkner, the recognized genius of tragic art, is a master of comic forms as well and, further, that neither mode, tragic or comic, is ever very far from the other in Faulkner's world. James Cox and Wiliam Claxon reassert a familiar but helpful reminder of the outlandish humor in Jason Compson's world. The comic world of As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and Go Down, Moses is treated variously as irony of miscommunicaton, as framing device for character portrayal, and as comedy of incongruity--three qualities that offer new insights about these richly funny works. ISBN 0-87805-282-8 (pbk): $14.95.
