Contributions by Josephine Adams, Jeff Allred, Garry Bertholf,
Maxwell Cassity, John N. Duvall, Katherine Henninger, Maude Hines,
Robert Jackson, Julie Beth Napolin, Rebecca Nisetich, George Porter
Thomas, Jay Watson, and Yuko Yamamoto If it seems outrageous to
suggest that one of the twentieth century’s most important
literary cartographers of the private recesses of consciousness is
also among its great novelists of family, William Faulkner
nonetheless fits the bill on both counts. Family played an outsized
role in both his life and his writings, often in deeply problematic
ways, surfacing across his oeuvre in a dazzling range of distorted,
defamiliarized, and transgressive forms, while on other occasions
serving as a crucible for crushing forces of conformity,
convention, and tradition. The dozen essays featured in this
collection approach Faulkner’s many families—actual and
imagined—as especially revealing windows to his work and his
world. In Faulkner's Families, contributors explore the role of the
child in Faulkner’s vision of family and regional society;
sibling relations throughout the author's body of work; the
extension of family networks beyond blood lineage and across racial
lines; the undutiful daughters of Yoknapatawpha County; the
critical power of family estrangement and subversive genealogies in
Faulkner’s imagination; forms of queer and interspecies kinship;
the epidemiological imagination of Faulkner’s notorious Snopes
family as social contagion; the experiences of the African American
families who worked on the writer’s Greenfield Farm property; and
Faulkner’s role in promoting a Cold War–era ideology of "the
family of man" in post–World War II Japan.
