In 1944, William Faulkner wrote to Malcolm Cowley, "I'm telling the same story over and over which is myself and the world. That's all a writer ever does, he tells his own biography in a thousand different terms."
With these words, Faulkner suggests that what changes in the course of his prolific novel-writing career is not so much the content but the style, "the thousand different terms" of his fiction. The essays in Faulkner and the Craft of Fiction, first presented at the 1987 Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference at the University of Mississippi, focus on Faulkner's narrative inventiveness, on how Faulkner, like his character Benjy in The Sound and the Fury, relentlessly kept "trying to say."
The contributors, authorities on Faulkner's narrative, offer a wide variety of critical approaches to Faulkner's fiction-writing process. Cleanth Brooks, for example, applies the strategies of New Criticism to Faulkner's rendering of the heroic and pastoral modes; Judith L. S

Faulkner and the craft of fiction
Ive been working on a few series that I love and I'm running out of things to say about them. This series reads more like one continuous story than a series of books. If you love the first, you'll probably love them all.
The series follows an episcopal priest as he tries to live out his faith by helping and loving people in his orbit. He asks God for guidance, and if you've ever wondered what it must be like to be a priest, it's very enlightening. I love the series bc it always makes me laugh and I've grown v attached not just to the main character but to those who've become part of his extended family (don't want to give away anything for anyone who's unfamiliar).
There's some new faces in this one bc Father Tim is house sitting for a friend and winds up a vicar to a small, forgotten parish. But Jan Karon has a gift for characterization and so, as quirky as they may be, it's easy to love her characters.
All of the audiobooks so far have been narrated by John McDonough, who is fantastic as he changes voices for all the characters. Apparently the next two are narrated by someone else...which explains why I've never read those. Then McDonough picks up the series once again, thankfully.
I may backtrack to a Christmas novella bc a development in the lives of two of my favorite characters is missed if you skip it. And then I'd like to finally finish this series this year. Other than the novella, all of the other books would be first-time reads for me.
