Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-16 00:00:00 John Pogan Really solid book that gives general (!) detail about all of Faulkner's novels. Summaries, general interpretations, chronologies, and genealogies are given in very good detail. This should be the first go-to book for anyone studying Faulkner. It doesn't have the masturbatory feel that taints elements of Irwin's book, but it does read a bit dated, which is unsurprising with the publication being in the 60's. Fantastic, though, for general information. The chronologies and such would be of great use to those first delving into Faulkner, as well as to continuing readers. Well worth having.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-26 00:00:00 Weston Jill Must-have reference for anyone serious about milking everything possible out of Faulkner. That said, I don't always find his analyses persuasive. But they are always thoughtful and reasonable enough.
