O carte neobisuita, un adevarat tur de forta. La fel ca in multe alte opere, si in "Recviem pentru o calugarita" William Faulkner experimenteaza. Cartea este in parte piesa de teatru, in parte roman. Continuare a celebrei opere "Sanctuar", "Recviem pentru o calugarita" ne-o infatiseaza pe Temple Drake, maritata cu Gowan Stevens, si mama a doi copii. Nancy Mannigoe, guvernanta de culoare a familiei Gowan, o asa-sineaza pe fetita stapanilor ei, in varsta de doar 6 luni. Singurele care stiu...

Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, this title explores passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. It is about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'

Mai 1905, trei pusti din Jefferson. Lucius Priest, in varsta de 11 ani, este convins de Boon Hogganbeck, unul dintre angajatii familiei sale, sa fure masina bunicului sau, bancherul orasului, si sa porneasca intr-o calatorie spre Memphis.

The story of an elderly black farmer arrested for the murder of a white man and threatened by a lynch mob in America's Deep South. A characteristically Faulknerian tale of dark omen, its sole ray of hope the character of a young white boy who repays on old favour by proving the farmer's innocence.

In New Orleans in 1937, a man and woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his one chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories, the author composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation.

Aceste povestiri inedite reprezinta o necesara si benefica recuperare a unei parti din opera marelui scriitor american ramasa pana acum necunoscuta publicului cititor roman. Daca unele dintre texte au fost publicate, altele n-au depasit niciodata stadiul de "proza de sertar". Universul faulknerian ni se redeschide si se intregeste prin intermediul lor, pasionatul de literatura intalnind aici personaje puternice si situatii care uneori te indeamna la meditatie, iar alteori isi aduc zambetul pe...
