I started off thinking that I hadn’t read any of his work
until I saw “A Rose for Emily” (which was also the only short story I actually
remember reading from high school… so I guess I enjoyed it at the time) listed
in the Syllabus. I’ve never even heard of Faulkner beyond the
short story I read in high school, brief mentions of him in Andrews’ preparation
of this course, and Mad Men. Frankly, I’ve heard
Hemmingway’s name tossed around more often than Faulkner’s. The
brief overview of him and his life we received gave me the impression that
he was kind of an asshole—but one I would like.
I was dreading this course when Andrews sent out the email
with the link to the assignments, but now that class has actually started,
and I know more about Faulkner, I’m stoked to dive into his works.
That being said, I think that his obsession and
incorporation of his home in his writings is really interesting.
