William Faulkner - That Evening Sun

Faulkner's That Evening Sun read by Arliss Howard
William Faulkner was a Nobel Prize winning novelist of the American South who wrote challenging prose and created the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. He is best known for such novels as 'The Sound and the Fury' and 'As I Lay Dying.' American writer William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, in 1897. Much of his early work was poetry, but he became famous for his novels set in the American South, frequently in his fabricated Yoknapatawpha County, with works that included The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying and Absalom, Absalom! His controversial 1931 novel Sanctuary was turned into two films, 1933's The Story of Temple Drake as well as a later 1961 project. Faulkner was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature and ultimately won two Pulitzers and two National Book Awards as well. He died on July 6, 1962.

2019 BC???? That’s y you need to read something longer and more educational than a text

[@yelshaamarie9294]

A few things: Mr. Howard, you have the best reading voice!! It is calm, soothing, and interesting enough to keep my attention. Secondly, I'm reading along with the audiobook through a full-text version I found online. I was confused why I kept hearing "Jesus" instead of "Jubah." Apparently my source decided to change the name.. Thought that was interesting!

Yelsha Amarie It was censored, in a later version. It’s a shame because I think it causes a loss in verbal irony.

[@comanchedase]

​@Retinalfusion a bigger loss than just literary irony. A re-writting of history will, eventually, lead to it being forgotten...and then repeated.

[@roscoefoofoo]

Such a painful, poignant story...so many truths about caste, race, need, vulnerability...

[@rubengardiner1046]

The reader did a really good job. He kept the consistency of the impressions so well. Props

Faulkner rules!

[@mathewidicula6425]

The masses cry " out, out damn spot". But when that spots is deep within ones soul, what reprieve do we make? To gently welcome it in, and the sanity it writes, rid away to such unease. But that is man in all that is modern to look away, until he is no more, to speak his neighbor tongue until nothing of him remains. As lady Macbeth cried " out, out ... maned spots," but that is all you see"...... We are of the hollow man.

Nancy has a tragic life. Jason was already a tool at five.
