Book Description
The George M. Faulkner collection documents his service as a band member in the United States (U.S.) Army Air Forces during World War II. The collection contains a letter from Faulkner to Mr. and Mrs. A. C. "Berkeybile" (Berkebile) of Hooversville, Pennsylvania (probably his in-laws) dated September 1943; personnel documents, including his honorable discharge certificate; and a pilot log of his flight time. Printed materials include a copy of Pilot's airplane manual dated September 1940, his 1943 yearbook for the 317th College Training Detachment at Montana State University, his certificate for crossing the International Date Line, and a war ration book which belonged to his wife. The majority of the photographs in the collection were taken in Missoula, Montana, where Faulkner received training, and in Manila, Philippine Islands, where he was later stationed. Also included are photographs of the signing of the peace treaty with Japan and an oversize group photograph of the U.S. Army Air Forces Band at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. in 1943.

Book Description
Here, published in a single volume as he always hoped they would be, are the three novels that comprise William Faulkner’s famous Snopes trilogy, a saga that stands as perhaps the greatest feat of this celebrated author’s incomparable imagination. The Hamlet, the first book of the series chronicling the advent and rise of the grasping Snopes family in mythical Yoknapatawpha County, is a work that Cleanth Brooks called “one of the richest novels in the Faulkner canon.” It recounts how the wily, cunning Flem Snopes dominates the rural community of Frenchman’s Bend—and claims the voluptuous Eula Varner as his bride. The Town, the central novel, records Flem’s ruthless struggle to take over the county seat of Jefferson, Mississippi. Finally, The Mansion tells of Mink Snopes, whose archaic sense of honor brings about the downfall of his cousin Flem. “For all his concerns with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man,” noted Ralph Ellison. “Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of our classics.”

Book Description
Library of America caps its six-volume edition of William Faulkner's works with a volume gathering of all the stories he collected in his lifetime, in corrected texts Faulkner called the short story “the most demanding form after poetry” and wrote to an editor that “even to a collection of short stories, form, integration, is as important as to a novel—an entity of its own, single, set for one pitch, contrapuntal in integration, toward one end, one finale.” Faulkner was a major practitioner of the short story form and keenly sensitive to its aesthetic demands. The Library of America edition of the collected writings of William Faulkner culminates with this volume presenting all the stories the author gathered for his book collections, in newly edited and authoritative texts. This is Faulkner as he was meant to be read. Faulkner’s monumental Collected Stories (1950) presented the author’s first two collections, These Thirteen (1931) and Doctor Martino (1934), along with seventeen new stories, all carefully selected and arranged by the author; Knight’s Gambit (1949) collected six stories about attorney Gavin Stevens’ detective work; and in Big Woods (1955) Faulkner gathered four hunting stories connected with interstitial material. This volume presents these three collections as carefully arranged by Faulkner, with new authoritative and corrected texts that best represent Faulkner’s intentions for the stories. Here are such well-known stories as “A Rose for Emily,” “Barn Burning,” and “A Bear Hunt,” as well as some of his most poetic--“Carcassone”—and less known, such as “The Tall Men,” “Elly,” and “Uncle Willy.” Also included are Faulkner’s stories “The Hound” (collected in Doctor Martino but omitted by the author from Collected Stories), “Spotted Horses,” Faulkner’s fictionalized autobiographical essay “Mississippi,” as well as his Nobel Prize acceptance speech and helpful explanatory notes by Faulkner scholar Theresa M. Towner.

Book Description
“I’m a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can’t and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing that, only then does he take up novel writing.” —William Faulkner Winner of the National Book Award Forty-two stories make up this magisterial collection by the writer who stands at the pinnacle of modern American fiction. Compressing an epic expanse of vision into hard and wounding narratives, Faulkner’s stories evoke the intimate textures of place, the deep strata of history and legend, and all the fear, brutality, and tenderness of the human condition. These tales are set not only in Yoknapatawpha County, but in Beverly Hills and in France during World War I. They are populated by such characters as the Faulknerian archetypes Flem Snopes and Quentin Compson, as well as by ordinary men and women who emerge so sharply and indelibly in these pages that they dwarf the protagonists of most novels.

Book Description
This invaluable volume, which has been republished to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of Faulkner's birth, contains some of the greatest short fiction by a writer who defined the course of American literature. Its forty-five stories fall into three categories: those not included in Faulkner's earlier collections; previously unpublished short fiction; and stories that were later expanded into such novels as The Unvanquished, The Hamlet, and Go Down, Moses. With its Introduction and extensive notes by the biographer Joseph Blotner, Uncollected Stories of William Faulkner is an essential addition to its author's canon--as well as a book of some of the most haunting, harrowing, and atmospheric short fiction written in the twentieth century.
