Faulknerista collects more than twenty years of critically
influential scholarship by Catherine Gunther Kodat on the writings
of one of the most important American authors of the twentieth
century, William Faulkner. Initially composed as freestanding
essays and now updated and revised, the book's nine chapters place
Faulkner's work in the context of current debates concerning the
politics of white authors who write about race, queer sexualities,
and the use of the N-word in literature and popular culture. The
Faulknerista of the title is a critic who tackles these debates
without fear or favor, balancing admiration with skepticism in a
manner that establishes a new model for single-author scholarship
that is both historically grounded (for women have been writing
about Faulkner, and talking back to him, since the beginning of his
career) and urgently contemporary. Beginning with an introduction
that argues for the critical importance of women's engagement with
Faulkner's fiction, through comparative discussions pairing it with
works by Toni Morrison, Jean-Luc Godard, Quentin Tarantino, and
David Simon, Faulknerista offers a valuable resource for students,
scholars, and general readers, written in an accessible style and
aimed at stimulating discussions of Faulkner's work and the rich
interpretive challenges it continues to present.
