The following lecture, on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), will be presented by Dr. Thomas Inge of Randolph-Macon College on one of William Faulkner’s first novels, “Sartoris.”
The author’s prose is steeped in allegory and subtle references to ancient religious motifs and symbols. “My mother is a fish,” cries little Darrell over and over in “As I Lay Dying.”
“Sartoris” is a good introduction to this author and begins the chronicle of the Sartoris family .
The novel is filled with compelling characters including Aunt Jenny Du Pre, who, for fifty years, has told tales of her brother’s heroic efforts during the Civil War.
The next lecture will be offerred March 24th by Dr. Jennifer Jordan of Howard University, on Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” Characters have names like “Sometimes” and “Tea Cake” and the dialogue is extraordinary. The book is considered by some to be the finest “black novel” written, according to Doris Grumbach of the “Saturday Review.”
