The Best of Bad Faulkner
About
As I Lay Dieting, "Abe's Saloon! Abe's Saloon!" Sound like Faulkner with a twist? It is—bad Faulkner, or, to be exact, some of the best of bad Faulkner composed by the hundreds who have entered the Faux Faulkner Contest. Here, too, are outstanding Faulkner parodies from the past—even one written by Faulkner himself.
Praise for this book
A splended collection of Faux Faulkner. Having lived in Oxford and passed the time of day with him in Krogers (he would always stop us to talk to our little boy)...i.e. when we had not mixed him up with Brother John...I can tell you how much he enjoyed this Faux stuff...I suggest that anyone who has grown as a result of sharing his world try their hand at faux...and read the old Oxford Eagle...If Mr. Bill puts your soul on warp speed, order this book right now.
A great selection of entries in the Faux Faulkner contest, featuring Faulkner parodies ranging from straight thematic mockery to Faulkner title and character wordplay, and even flat-out puns. It helps if you are familiar with Faulkner's body of work, of course, but many of these manage to stand on their own.
