William Faulkner, best known for his difficult novels, is also one of our greatest writers of comedy and humor. In this course we will discuss three of his trickster tales: "Shingles for the Lord," "Centaur in Brass" and "Mule in the Yard." Focusing on one story each week, we will show how these stories both subvert and uphold the prevailing values of the American South and Faulkner’s native Mississippi. We will also discuss other comic and humorous pieces in Collected Stories and the ways Faulkner uses these forms in other stories and novels. Advance reading required. Book available at KU Continuing Education building after September 7. Payment (approximately $10) due at first class session.
Date: Fridays, Sept. 18, 25 & Oct. 2
