Abstract:
"This Guide offers analyses of all Faulkner's short stories, published and unpublished, that were not incorporated into novels or turned into chapters of a novel. Each of the seventy-one stories receives separate and detailed appraisal. This approach helps establish the relationship of the stories to the novels and underscores Faulkner's skill as a writer of short fiction. Although Faulkner often spoke disparagingly of the short story form and claimed that he wrote stories for money - which he did - Edmond L. Volpe's study reveals that Faulkner could not resist the application of his creative imagination or his mastery of narrative structure and technique to this genre."--BOOK JACKET.
