Plagued by depression and alcohol, he knew he had more to achieve and a finite amount of time and energy to achieve it. This volume, one of five in The Library of America's authoritative edition of Faulkner's complete novels, gathers the four groundbreaking works from this fascinating period, Go Down, Moses is a haunting novel that explores the intertwined lives of black, white, and Indian inhabitants of Yoknapatawpha County. It includes "The Bear," one of the most famous works in American fiction. Intruder in the Dust, a detective novel, is a compassionate story of a black man on trial and the growing moral awareness of a southern white boy. Requiem for a Nun tells the fate of the passionate, haunted Temple Drake and her tortured redemption. A Fable, Faulkner's recasting of the Christ story set in World War I, earned him the Pulitzer Prize." - from the rear outer jacket. "The years 1942 to 1954 saw William Faulkner's rise to literary celebrity - sought after by Hollywood, lionized by the critics, awarded a Nobel Prize in 1950 and the Pulitzer and National Book Award for 1954. But despite his success, he was plagued by depression and alcohol and haunted by a sense that he had more to achieve - and a finite amount of time and energy to achieve its. This volume. collects the.newly restored texts, based on Faulkner's manuscripts, typescripts, and proof sheets. free of the changes introduced by the original editors and are faithful to the author's intentions. In the four works included here, Faulkner delved deeper into themes of race and religion, and furthered his experiments with fictional structure and narrative voice; defying the odds, he continued to break new ground in American fiction. Go Down, Moses (1942) is a haunting novel made up of seven related stories that explore the intertwined lives of black, white, and Indian inhabitants of Yokhapatawph County. It includes "The Bear," one of the most famous works in all American fiction, with its evocation of "the wilderness, the big woods, bigger and older than any recorded document." Characters from Go Down, Moses reappear in Intruder in the Dust (1948). Part detective novel, part morality tale, it is a compassionate story of a black man on trial and the growing moral awareness of a southern white boy. Requiem for a Nun (1951) is a sequel to Sanctuary. With an unusual structure combining novel and play, it tells the fate of the passionate, haunted Temple Drake and the murder case through which she achieves a tortured redemption. Prose interludes condense millennia of local history into a swirling counterpoint. In A Fable (1954), a recasting of the Christ story set during World War I, he wanted, Faulkner said, "to try to tell what I had found in my lifetime of truth in some important way before I put the pen down and die." The novel, which earned a Pultizer Prize, is both an anguished spiritual parable and a drama of mutiny, betrayal, and violence in the barracks and on the battlefield." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
