Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. First US edition. Translation by Arby Gharibian of "L'idiotie dans l'oeuvre de William Faulkner" (Presses Universitaires de la Sorbonne Nouvelle, 2009). Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.5", is new. xviii/280 pages. ""Inventing Benjy: William Faulkner's Most Splendid Creative Leap" is a groundbreaking work at the intersection of Faulkner studies and disability studies. this translation brings the book to English-language readers for the first time. Author Frédérique Spill begins with a sustained look at the monologue of Benjy Compson, the initial first-person narrator in Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury". Spill questions the reasons for this narrative choice, bringing readers to consider Benjy's monologue, which is told by a narrator who is deaf and cognitively disabled, as an impossible discourse. This paradoxical discourse, which relies mostly on senses and sensory perception, sets the foundation of a sophisticated poetics of idiocy. Using this form of writing, Faulkner shaped perspective from a disabled character, revealing a certain depth to characters that were previously only portrayed on a shallow level. This style encompasses some of the most striking forms and figures of his leap into modern(ist) writing. In that respect, "Inventing Benjy" thoroughly examines Benjy's discourse as an experimental workshop in which objects and words are exclusively modelled by the senses. This study regards Faulkner's decision to place a disabled character at the center of perception as the inaugural and emblematic gesture of his writing. Closely examining excerpts from Faulkner's novels and a few short stories, Spill emphasizes how the corporal, temporal, sensorial, and narrative figures of "idiocy" are reflected throughout Faulkner's work. These writing choices underlie some of his most compelling inventions and certainly contribute to his unmistakable writing style. In the process, Faulkner's writing takes on a phenomenological dimension, simultaneously dismantling and reinventing the intertwined dynamics of perception and language.".…
