Cet ouvrage trouve sa source dans le monologue de l'idiot Benjy Compson sur lequel s'ouvre The Sound and the Fury de William Faulkner(1929). Narré par un idiot muet et condamné à l'hébétude, ce monologue constitue un discours impossible. Construit sur le primat de la sensation et sur la prééminence des choses sur les idées, ce discours élabore cependant une véritable esthétique de l'idiotie. Le choix de placer un idiot au centre de la perception et à la source première de la narration de The Sound and the Fury peut de fait être considéré comme le geste précurseur et emblématique de l'écriture faulknérienne. À travers l'analyse détaillée de textes empruntés à l'ensemble du corpus faulknérien, ce livre vise à montrer que le monologue de l'idiot Benjy Compson constitue un vaste champ d'expérimentation où tout objet est remodelé par le travail des sens : ainsi, le filtre de la perception de l'idiot donne-t-il naissance à un monde singulier et inédit. Les figures corporelles, temporelles, sensorielles et narratives de l'idiotie se réfractent tout au long de l'oeuvre de Faulkner dans le sillagede ce texte inaugural. C'est donc à travers les formes d'une idiotie initiale et initiatique que l'écriture de Faulkner accède à sa spécificité. À l'origine de l'œuvre, l'idiotie organise d'un seul mouvement l'espace du monde et celui du langage faulknériens.

This book is about the making of the writer William Faulkner. It is the first to inquire into the three most important women in his life-his black and white mothers, Caroline Barr and Maud Falkner, and the childhood friend who became his wife, Estelle Oldham. In this new exploration of Faulkner's creative process, Judith L. Sensibar discovers that these women's relationships with Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his imagination. Sensibar brings to the foreground-as Faulkner did-this "female world," an approach unprecedented in Faulkner biography.Through extensive research in untapped biographical sources-archival materials and interviews with these women's families and other members of the communities in which they lived-Sensibar transcends existing scholarship and reconnects Faulkner's biography to his work. She demonstrates how the themes of race, tormented love, and addiction that permeated his fiction had their origins in his three defining relationships with women. Sensibar alters and enriches our understanding not only of Faulkner, his art, and the complex world of the American South that came to life in his brilliant fiction but also of darknesses, fears, and unspokens that Faulkner unveiled in the American psyche.
