Explanation Concering 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.

Criticism Based On Books Go Down, Moses

Especially poignant now, "Moses" is a raggedy collection of connected, nested stories centered on a family lineage that mixes both white and black, free and slave (or ex-slave) and ultimately highlights the futility of them all against an unwavering wildness that can only be dealt with by destroying it.With the exception of Ike's sanction against the folly of thinking that one can possess anything that doesn't want to be possessed (whether land, the feral, or in love), this is a far more

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

When I'm away from Faulkner's works, I always think of them as "hard", "confusing", "over-the-top". You know, that sort of thing that only intellectuals read and pretend to understand and enjoy. But when I start to read them...The first chapter is mysterious and deliberately obtuse. The reader is picked up in the middle of some strange goings-on and must try to decipher the characters and the allusive plotline.But keep reading. No matter how much you feel like you're drowning, or lost in some

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

Probably my favorite Faulkner novel. First time I ever read Faulkner where I wasn't forced to as part of an English class, and I was finally able to enjoy it. Suddenly I realized that Faulkner was, in fact, hilarious, and I was having a great time reading the book. Then I got to "The Bear", and it blew me away, and I understood why Faulkner is often regarded as America's greatest writer. I recommend this to anyone who has ever been curious about Faulkner.

"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

I can just manage to recall reading something by Faulkner at some point in college. Couldn't say what book - required reading for American Literature or something like that. My memory is more clear about my reaction to Faulkner in those days (I didn't like it!) than exactly why that was the case. So it was with some trepidation that I picked up this book from a pile that was sitting around the house. With true grit and determination, I struggled through a solid 75% of these related short stories
