The book challenges earlier, influential scholarly considerations of death in Faulkner's work that claimed that writing was his authorial method of 'saying No to death'. Through close-readings of six key works - \u003cem\u003eThe Sound and the Fury\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/i\u003e, \"A Rose for Emily\", \u003ci\u003eLight in August\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/em\u003e - this book examines how Faulkner's characters confront various experiences of human mortality, including grief, bereavement, mourning, and violence. The trauma and ambivalence caused by these experiences ultimately compel these characters to 'say Yes to death'. The book makes a clear distinction between Faulkner's quest for literary immortality through writing and the desire for death exhibited by the principal characters in the works analysed. \u003ci\u003eWilliam Faulkner and Mortality: A Fine Dead Sound\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new paradigm for reading Faulkner's oeuvre, and adds an alternative voice to a debate within Faulkner scholarship long thought to have ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAhmed Honeini\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches in the Department of English at Royal Holloway, University of London.
