Rather than approach Faulkner's fiction through a prefabricated grid, André Bleikasten concentrates on the texts themselves--on the motivations and circumstances of their composition, on the rich array of their themes, structures, textures, points of emphasis and repetition, as well as their rifts and gaps--while drawing on the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, anthropology. Brilliant in its thought and argument, Ink of Melancholy is one of the most insightful and stimulating studies of Faulkner's work."--Publisher's description.Melancholy in literatureMelancholy in literature.813/.52Bleikasten André447293MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816615503321The ink of melancholy4095899UNINA
