Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-17 00:00:00 Gary Copnell What good is living in the South if we can't do things more slowly? This is the kind of question Faulkner liked to pose and then answer himself (i.e., un-Socratically) in his more curmudgeonly moods. The Mississippi genius is thoughtfully celebrated in the recent FAULKNER AT 100 ), which for some readers will seem the ideal text to spend the next 100-odd days pondering. The collection of essays and commentaries, edited by Ann J. Abadie and Donald M. Kartiganer, includes pieces by Vanderbilt professor Thadious M. Davis, biographer Joseph Blotner, novelist Larry Brown, and The Reverend Duncan M. Gray, who performed the eulogy at Faulkner's funeral. (originally published in the NASHVILLE SCENE)

Review # 2 was written on 2009-09-02 00:00:00 Katherine Gorman Just back from the 2009 Faulkner and Yoknapatawha Conference at U of MS, and I bought this collection of the conference papers delivered at a previous conference, in 1997, on the 100th anniversary of Faulkner's birth. It is a rich resource of the thinking on Faulkner in 1997! Loved the variety and the depth.
