Rather than approach Faulkner's fiction through a prefabricated grid, André Bleikasten concentrates on the texts themselves--on the motivations and circumstances of their composition, on the rich array of their themes, structures, textures, points of emphasis and repetition, as well as their rifts and gaps--while drawing on the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, anthropology. Brilliant in its thought and argument, <i>Ink of Melancholy</i> is one of the most insightful and stimulating studies of Faulkner's work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Faulkner has found a critic worthy of him.</p>-- "Times Literary Supplement"<br><br><p>Unsurpassed as an act of sustained engagement with Faulkner's language.</p>-- "New York Review of Books"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>André Bleikasten (1933-2009) was Professor of American Literature at the University of Strasbourg, France, and a prominent Faulkner scholar.
