In prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity, William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and greed, futile nobility, and obscene crimes. He set this legend in a small, minutely realized parallel universe he called Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. Contents: A justice The courthouse (A name for the city) (from Requiem for a nun) Red leaves Was (from Go down, Moses) Raid (from The unvanquished) Wash An odor of verbena (from The unvanquished) The bear (from Go down, Moses) Spotted horses (from The hamlet) That evening sun Ad astra A rose for Emily Dilsey? (from The sound and the fury) Old man (from The wild palms) Death drag Uncle Bud and the three madams (from Sanctuary) Percy Grimm (from Light in August) Delta Autumn (from Go down, Moses) The jail (nor even yet quite relinquish-) (from Requiem for a nun)

reviewed The portable Faulkner on February 17, 2012 The portable Faulkner
I think I've read most of the stuff in here, probably not all. But the rating and review are specifically for The Bear, which I read years ago, and a second time (at least) much more recently.
The Bear is a terrific long short story (novella, if you will) which is very representative of Faulkner's writing in many ways: the setting, the language, the stream of consciousness style in certain places, the references to the history of his mythical Mississippi county. Even though I'm sure I got more out of the story in my 60s than I did in my 20s, the fourth part of the story is dense with so much of the Faulkner mythos that it would require (from someone like me) careful study, which I didn't do, to get a clear picture of the relationships of the characters, or even how they were related to the protagonist, or even whether the protagonist in the earlier parts actually appeared in the fourth part.
I'm sure this description will really turn off a few people, which is okay; Faulkner is probably not your author.
