Welcome to ENGL 389.51 + ENGL 784, “William Faulkner.” Just wanted to introduce myself and to give you a heads-up re: what we’ll be doing in a few weeks when the course begins.

Here’s the list of novels we’ll be reading, in the order we’ll be reading them:

THE SOUND AND THE FURY
AS I LAY DYING
LIGHT IN AUGUST
ABSALOM, ABSALOM!
GO DOWN, MOSES

You can see all the details on the syllabus page, including the schedule and rough sketch of assignments. All books are at Shakes and Co., across the street from campus; make sure to get the “corrected edition” put out by Vintage if you shop for your own copies.

All best and see you pretty soon.
