Chronicle Toward 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.

Assess Epithetical Books Go Down, Moses

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.

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

Go Down, Moses by Homer Quincy Smith"Here, in Go Down, Moses, Faulkner comes most passionately to grips with the moral implications of slavery, the American land, process and materialism, tradition and moral identity--all major themes of the American novel. And it is in the fourth section [of The Bear]...that Faulkner makes his most extended effort to define the specific form of the American Negro's humanity and to get at the human values which were lost by both North and South during the Civil

3.5/5Faulkner's one of those writers who's best read incomprehensibly. What went into my love for The Sound and the Fury and Light in August was a devotional and patient waiting for moments of clarity, one that relished the rolling prose and chiaroscuro enough in the meantime for a warm reception of an end. In contrast, this work largely inherited the last section of the first, a very concise and straightforward view of the previous three sections' miasma that ultimately suffered for its lending

The twists and turns of a large extended family that revolves around one character in one way or another while showing the change of life in Mississippi over the course of 80 years. Go Down, Moses by William Faulkner is a novel constructed around seven interconnected short stories revolving around the McCaslin family and relations.The novel begins with Was relating how one nights search for an escaped slave ultimately leads to the birth of the books central character, Isaac Uncle Ike McCaslin,

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

I know this isn't going to be much of a review...people always want the whys and wherefores for why people give the rating they give...Right now, it is simply because I 'heart' Faulkner. He is one of the most magnificent story tellers ever. His way of getting deep into the heart and matter of mankind's relationship with mankind and nature is genius. I believe there is no one out there that can ever compare to his ability to tell a story...it doesn't even feel like so much a story than a history
