( Comics and cartoons are ingrained in American life. On...)
Comics and cartoons are ingrained in American life. One critic has called comic books "crude, unimaginative, banal, vulgar, ultimately corrupting." They have been regarded with considerable suspicion by parents, educators, psychiatrists, and moral reformers. They have been investigated by governmental committees and subjected to severe censorship. Yet more than 200 million copies are sold annually. Upon even casual examination BLONDIE, ARCHIE, MARY WORTH, THE WIZARD OF ID, and SHOE--among the many comic strips--will be found to support some commonly accepted notion or standard of society. Why do comics both amuse and arouse controversy? Here is an attempt at an answer in a sharp-eyed comic-book lover's probing look at this step-child genre. He finds comics both loved and hated, relished and sneered at. In their relying on dramatic conventions of character, dialogue, scene, gesture, compressed time, and stage devices, he finds the comics close to the drama but probably closer kin to the movies.

William Faulkner’s novels and short stories comprise a penetrating view of the divided loyalties, hypocrisies, injustices, and brutalities that were the inheritance of the post-reconstruction South. In this new volume in the acclaimed Overlook Illustrated Lives series, distinguished Faulkner scholar M. Thomas Inge complements his concise text with more than a hundred rarely seen photos and illustrations—among them, photos of Faulkner’s great-grandfather (who was killed in the streets of Ripley, Mississippi, in a duel), the literary circles of New Orleans and Paris in which he traveled as a young writer, his years in Hollywood as a screenwriter, and much more. William Faulkner is both an inviting introduction to the master of modern fiction and an indispensable book of vital interest to fans and scholars.
