William Faulkner's Un-Politically Correct South

Brought to you by Odyssey

April 18, 2022 - May 23, 2022 (6 Sessions)
Mondays, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM ET

Although Faulkner is considered one of the greatest 20th – Century American writers, his work – especially in the 21st century – is considered problematic. Particularly controversial was his portrayal of race and class. In this course, participants will read three of Faulkner’s most popular novels – “Light in August,” “The Sound of the Fury,” and “Absalom, Absalom.” In addition, participants will explore two famous short stories: “A Rose for Emily” and “Dry September.” These readings will contribute to the class discussion each week.
