Representaion As Books Go Down, Moses

“I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.” —William Faulkner, on receiving the Nobel Prize   Go Down, Moses is composed of seven interrelated stories, all of them set in Faulkner’s mythic Yoknapatawpha County. From a variety of perspectives, Faulkner examines the complex, changing relationships between blacks and whites, between man and nature, weaving a cohesive novel rich in implication and insight.

Write-Up Based On Books Go Down, Moses
Clearly I should rate this as amazing, since it no doubt is, but as a casual reader, reading it purely for pleasure, I'd just say it's a very enjoyable book but not necessarily the most pleasurable reading experience. It's beautiful throughout. It's sometimes very funny. It's rewarding to stick with it and read the whole thing, to see how ideas about race, blood, family identity, national identity, justice, and human dignity come together in the interconnected lives of the characters. Some are

Go Down, Moses (1942), though not always grouped with Faulkner's indisputable masterpieces, is nevertheless one of his most significant and influential books.On strictly formalist or literary-historical grounds, it is a beautiful example of the short story collection as novel, an idea that developed over the course of the 20th century until becoming a major fictional mode in its own right today, as explored by Ted Gioia in his essay on "The Rise of the Fragmented Novel."When Go Down, Moses was

In love with Faulkner (4.5)I didn't get him. When I read his As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, and Absalom! Absalom! a few years ago. I liked Light in August, but I couldn't appreciate his style. And I guess for everything there is a season. Then I came back, and it happened to be in the right season, when my preoccupation was not storytelling but style and sentence rhythm. It has to do with my progress as a writer as I'm able to appreciate fiction for other than their plot.I relished, no

"Don't you see? This whole land, the whole South, is cursed, and all of us who derive from it, whom it ever suckled, white and black both, lie under the curse? Granted that my people brought the curse unto the land: maybe for that reason their descendants alone can - not resist it, not combat it - maybe just endure and outlast it until the curse is lifted" from The Bear in Go Down, Moses.The novel (and Faulkner insisted that it is a novel) consists of seven short stories that deal with the white

This is a book of seven interrelated stories, the first of which, Was, is only thirty pages long. It is the tale of nine-year-old Cass and his uncles, Buck and Buddy, as they chase the escaped slave, Tomeys Turl, who regularly runs away to a neighboring farm to visit his sweetheart. The subplot is that the mistress of the neighboring house, Miss Sophonsiba, has her eye set on catching one of the two confirmed bachelors. The story is gentle and amusing, lacking any hint of obvious cruelty, and

As usual, a journey into the Mississippi of William Faulkner is not recommended for someone looking for a light read in the dentist office. However, if you like books which challenge you - not only with subject matter, but also through their mechanics - then Faulkner proves superb. Go Down Moses was always presented to me as a collection of short stories. There is a certain truth to this. Each chapter can exist on its own - and tehy often are: the college freshman classic The Bear, is one of
