1 AP LIT ~ MINICH FAULKNER HIGHLIGHTS

2 THINGS TO KNOW: 1897-1962 Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 Southern, fictitious county: Yoknapatawpha (inspired by Oxford, MS) Classic novels in the American canon: The Sound and the Fury (1929) As I Lay Dying (1930) Light in August (1932) Absalom, Absalom! (1936) Writings are regional (southern local history), but themes are broader: “The human heart in conflict with itself”

4 POINT OF VIEW IN “BARN BURNING” 3 rd person omniscient blended with Sarty’s interior monologue (1 st person)
