description: Forty-two stories make up this magisterial collection by the writer who stands at the pinnacle of modern American fiction. Compressing an epic expanse of vision into hard and wounding narratives, Faulkner's stories evoke the intimate textures of place, the deep strata of history and legend, and all the fear, brutality, and tenderness of the human condition.These tales are not set only in Yoknapatawpha County, but in Beverly Hills and in France during World War I. They are populated by such characters as the Faulknerian archetypes Flem Snopes and Quentin Compson, as well as by ordinary men and women who emerge in these pages so sharply and indelibly that they dwarf the protagonists of most novels. Stories include: Barn BurningA Bear Hunt Two Soldiers A Rose for Emily Uncle Willy That Evening Sun Red Leaves Lo! Victory All the Dead Pilots Wash, Fox Hunt The Brooch My Grandmother Mountain Victory Beyond Black Music The Leg Mistral Divorce in Naples Carcassonneand many others.
