Albert Paine was a late 19th and early 20th century American author who remains best known today for collaborating with Mark Twain on a number of books.
One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels! A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury. Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company? In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.” With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.Mostra libro
This is an odd one. A very short play about a man and his servant girl, who is of course more than she appears. It opens on an altar, where he is bemoaning his situation... his wife has run off into the woods to be with who-knows-who...Ye household gods! By these male tears I wear That ye shall grant this prayer. All things at odds Shall be put straight-- Harmonized, reconciled By some appointed child Of some far Fate! Which makes me wonder if Nick Cave was invoking this story in the song Do You Love Me?.... "She was given to me to put things right..." The servant girl appears, and maybe you can guess where it goes from there.Mostra libro
