Rather than approach Faulkner's fiction through a prefabricated grid, Andre? 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. 606 $aMelancholy in literature 615 0$aMelancholy in literature. 676 $a813/.52 700 $aBleikasten$b Andre?$0447293 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798853303321 996 $aThe ink of melancholy$93770073 997 $aUNINA
