William Faulkner Reads
by William Faulkner (Reader)

"Rendered by the author with a rich deep-south accent that gives uncanny realism to each of the selections undertaken. His reading pace is neither slow nor fast and he conjures up many vivid, picturesque images for his listening audience . . . Strongly recommended." -- Roslyn News
This historic recording contains the first readings by William Faulkner of his work. One hearing is hardly enough. As in his books, penetration deepens with each new experience of the work. Yield to Faulkner's serenity, the deep-south way with words, the unaffected ease with which he drifts into Yoknapatawpha dialect. A recording ore important than this is not likely to be made soon.

This audio reproduces the full sound spectrum of his historic recordings; it has been remastered using contemporary digital equipment.
Contents: Side 1: The Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, As I Lay Dying (excerpts), Side 2: A Fable (excerpt), The Old Man (excerpt).
