He was absolutely dedicated to the work, and, as this volume demonstrates, he was fascinated with the personality, the generative process, and the practice of the artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese fourteen original essays from the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, held in 1993 at the University of Mississippi, explore a wide range of issues revolving around the meaning of art, artistry, and the artist in Faulkner's life and fiction. Here some of Faulkner's most fervent readers and critics assess the impact on him of the visual arts and architecture, the role of artist figures in such novels as \u003ci\u003eThe Sound and the Fury\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Palms\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as their guise as lawyers in \u003ci\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGo Down, Moses\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Town\u003c\/i\u003e, and the meaning of \"telling\" and \"design\" as exemplified both in the actions of fictional characters and in Faulkner's narrative strategies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald M.
