This invaluable volume contains some of the greatest short fiction by a writer who defined the course of American literature. Its forty-five stories fall into three categories those not included in Faulkner's earlier collections previously unpublished short fiction and stories that were later expanded into such novels as iThe Unvanquishedi, iThe Hamleti, and iGo Down, Mosesi. iThe Uncollected Storiesi of William Faulkner is an essential addition to its author's canon--as well as a book of some of the most haunting, harrowing, and atmospheric short fiction written in the twentieth century.
