Blotner's compendium of Faulkner's life.
15. Juli 1996
Format:Taschenbuch
Originally published in two volumes, Joseph L. Blotner's
biography of the imminent writer of the American South,
William Faulkner, is often touted as THE chronicle of
Faulkner's life. Blotner's style is really quite readable.
Indeed, this text is so accessible, one must question his
accountability on some instances of Faukner's words to
friends and loved ones. (Who really remembers what his
wife's father said to him on a particular day--famous or
not?) All in all, though, this chronicle sits on the top of
the biographical heap for the time being. And it probably
won't be displaced for many years to come.

A useful but deeply flawed biography.
16. Oktober 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
Blotner did a prodigious amount of research for this biography. Any later writer who wants to produce a biography of Faulkner will inevitably find himself or herself relying on much of Blotner's work. The reader, however, will not be so grateful. Blotner seems incapable of distinguishing between that which is important and that which is not. It seems as though he has dumped almost everything he learned into this book. And he learned quite a lot. Why we need, for example, to know the names of everyone Faulkner came into contact with? Finally, Blotner is not a gifted writer; his style is typical of the academic. I can only hope someone writes a shorter, more readable biography of Faulkner someday.

The facts- all the facts-
21. Oktober 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a very long and detailed biography which tells more than most people will want to know about its subject. What disappointed me however was not the work of Blotner which was painstaking and caring, but the figure he depicted. The great writer and Faulkner truly is a great writer seems in his life much smaller than his work. It is not only his unhappy relationship with wife and family, but a general spirit of meanness which prevailed in many of his human relationships. One heartwarming element though is the recognition he received at the end of his life, and the way that seemed to transform him into being more outgoing and generous.
