In this course we will focus on Faulkner's short stories, though we will also read a short novel and a novel that was originally published as a collection of short stories, with special attention to the legacy of American slavery as well as Faulkner's experimental approaches to narration and worldbuilding. The goal of this class is to equip students with techniques for and practice in analytical and argumentative writing.
