About FDU Press

To be given high praise for both its scholarship and non-specialist general reader accessibility, Faulkner’s Artistic Vision: The Bizarre and the Terrible by Ryuichi Yamaguchi (Aichi University of Washington) is an engaging and intriguing instant classic on William Faulkner and his work. Exploring the intricate mind of author William Faulkner and his outstanding collection of literary works of seemingly opposing genres, Faulkner’s Artistic Vision informs the reader of what realities lay behind his great writings, his reasoning for such works, and the writer’s intellectual premises and influential backings. A welcome and appreciated addition to academic library collections and American Literary Studies supplement reading lists, Faulkner’s Artistic Vision is very highly recommended for its strong message and previously unspoken truths to all students of seminal literary biographical studies.
