Faulkner in Brazil: An Important But Neglected Presence (Part I)

“The study of William Faulkner’s impact on the literature of Latin America and the Caribbean has been a core theme of Faulkner studies over the course of the second half of the twentieth century. These studies have centered, however, almost exclusively on Spanish-speaking Latin America to the exclusion of Portuguese speaking Latin America.

Richardson points out that this trend, which started around the time James Irby’s study on Faulkner and four Latin American writers came out in 1956, continues unabated in the form of published books, articles and dissertations that analyze Faulkner’s impact on Hispanic Latin America every year.”
