Ling, Changyan. Fukena : yi ge xin zuo feng de chang shi zhe [ID D30392]. "Faulkner is a typical writer of modern life, he writes about crimes, brutalities, and primitive sexuality, his outlook on life is wholly pessimistic, Faulkner's writings are actually well-planned beneath the surface of total chaos." Ling suggests that Faulkner tried to win popularity by writing about "immoral matter and unpleasant happenings" and through the use of new techniques so as to cater to the reader's need for sensation and strangeness. "Faulkner is not a profound thinker, Faulkner has become popular simply because the present time is as unhealthy as the author himself". He concludes that Faulkner was not as good as Sherwood Anderson or Sinclair Lewis. "Their work force people to think against their will, while all that Faulkner gives to the reader is only sensation, an unusual kind of sensual excitement." |
