Haven't seen that cover before. Not pleased with the portrait of Benjy or the cliché depiction of Dilsey, and not so sure about the circus monkey. But it's good to see a cover that I haven't seen before (and as a Faulkner scholar I've seen many covers of Le bruit et la fureur/The Sound and the Fury), and I hope you enjoyed the book!

I guess I should use the occasion of Trump’s ruthless & callous Gatsby party last night to announce the appearance of my latest article: “Wealthy White Whining: The Great Depression in the Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald,” in the latest issue of Studies in American Fiction.

The only known portraits of enslaved Mississippians:
'We don’t know if either of these people had the choice to sit for the portrait. We don’t know if they had the choice of what they were wearing when they were painted. They certainly weren’t allowed to own their own portrait.'

Cool lineup of literary villains in a LitHub March Madness sudden death tournament.
Sure, you can't include them all, but what about #Faulkner??? Flem Snopes of The Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion), Buck Hipps of The Hamlet, Thomas Sutpen of Absalom, Absalom!? And most of all, Jason Compson of The Sound and the Fury!
What other literary villains would you add?

Today, The Sound and the Fury goes into the public domain. I find it hauntingly moving and often beautiful, esp the 1st part. I published 2 articles about it & love teaching it, and yet, it saddens me that I can’t recommend it without prep (& handouts).
