"A Tale of Three Kings" by Gene Edwards
This book is a "must-read" by all Christians in today's culture. The book compares the attitudes of King Saul, King David, and Absolom, allowing the reader to identify similiar thinking in himself and others. It gave me perspective on how to adjust my own attitude to ...

William Faulkner

Library of America, 1990

great deal
You probably either love Faulkner's work or you hate it. If you hate it I won't argue with you. There are good reasons why you might not like his work (talk about acquired tastes). If you love him then you can't really find a much better deal than this book. ...

Absalom, Absalom!

William Faulkner

How to read this Great Novel
If I am not mistaken Absolom Absolom came out in 1936--the same year as Gone with the Wind. I am sttill waiting for the movie f the former. I agree with most readers reaction--greatness and difficulty. Let me just suggest that reading it out loud--perhaps with other ...

William Faulkner: The Making of a Modernist (Fred W. Morrison Series in Southern Studies)

Daniel J. Singal

The University of North Carolina Press, 1999

Disappointing and meandering
Prof. Singal has an interesting thesis here, one well worth exploring, but his book needs more focus. Singal wanders from psychobiography (including some ill-fitting speculation into Faulkner's neurological problems!) to literary analysis to critiques of other ...

Master of the 'short story'
I have been reading Louise Marley's books from the beginning of her career as a writer and have enjoyed all of them, however, I was really blown away by this compilation of 'short stories'. They say that the 'short story' is difficult to master but Ms Marley does a ...
