Collected Stories of William Faulkner

"Mule In the Yard" was hilarious! I must read. "A Rose For Emily" is classic Faulkner and probably one of his most reknowned. Familiar characters will pop up once again: Quentin, Caddy, Sartoris, Snopes. . . The intertexuality adds depth to Faulkner's world and stories.

Faulkner has his issues but this is an amazing achievement in literary style.

I confess I haven't read every single story, but I have read a large swath of them, and Faulkner is a master short story writer, even more so in my opinion than a novelist. Some of my favorites are: "a rose for emily", "dry september", "that evening sun".

Faulkner is a master!

A collection of Masterpieces by a Master of the form.

so far this is amazing collection of Faulkner stories I am loving it!!!

My favorite author. Nearly all of this is amazing, some real gems hiding behind the classics.

Faulkner's style is very quiet, unassuming, and matter-of-fact. He just tells the stories and leaves you to think about why the characters behaved the way they did, what they were thinking, what their motivations were and so on. If you can't handle him in novel-length chunks, it can be nice to read just a story or two and put the book down. I recommend "A Rose for Miss Emily" and "Hair"...more
