Hunting the Sun upends all previous Faulkner biography,
scholarship, and criticism by tracing to Honore de Balzac virtually
everything in William Faulkner's oeuvre. Faulkner's work departs,
often confusingly, from the traditional Romantic focus of novels.
The reason for the confusion is that Faulkner was rewriting
Balzac's La Comedie humaine, itself a prose revision of Dante's
Divine Comedy, in order to create his own comedy. More
specifically, Faulkner abandons the metaphysical basis of the
earlier works and replaces them with a psychosexual one; for
example, Balzac's "The Succubus" becomes Faulkner's "Carcassonne",
which the American renders an erotic fantasy. Virtually all of
Faulkner's major works, and many of the lesser ones, have direct
sources in Balzac's work.
