Oprah Selects Three Faulkner Novels
Oprah Winfrey has selected three novels by William Faulkner for her popular Oprah's Book Club. The book club is starting with As I Lay Dying. All three novels are set in Yoknaptawpha County, Mississippi.
As I Lay Dying
The harrowing, darkly comic tale of the Bundren family's trek across Mississippi to bury Addie, their wife and mother, as told by each of the family members--including Addie herself.
The Sound And The Fury
By turns lyrical and dramatic, hilarious and heartbreaking, The Sound and the Fury is the tragic story of beautiful Caddy Comapson and the dissolution of her family.
Light In August
The story od Lena Grove's search for the father of her unborn child, and features one of Faulkner's most memorable characters: Joe Christmas, a desperate drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry.
