Today, debates about globalization raise both hopes and fears.
But what about during William Faulkner's time? Was he aware of
worldwide cultural, historical, and economic developments? Just how
interested was Faulkner in the global scheme of things?
The contributors to "Global Faulkner" suggest that a global
context is helpful for recognizing the broader international
meanings of Faulkner's celebrated regional landscape. Several
scholars address how the flow of capital from the time of slavery
through the Cold War period in his fiction links Faulkner's South
with the larger world. Other authors explore the literary
similarities that connect Faulkner's South to Latin America,
Africa, Spain, Japan, and the Caribbean. In essays by scholars from
around the world, Faulkner emerges in trans-Atlantic and
trans-Pacific contexts, in a pan-Caribbean world, and in the space
of the Middle Passage and the African Atlantic. The Nobel
laureate's fiction is linked to that of such writers as Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, Wole Soyinka, Miguel de Cervantes, and Kenji
Nakagami."
