A timely and insightful clarification on the largely unexamined assumption of the centrality of The Metamorphoses of Apuleius in the American novelist’s last published novel. By painstakingly offering new readings of both works, which can be read independently, Provencal constructs a comparative context for the close scrutiny of the receptions and how they contribute to a better understanding of Faulkner’s message of stoicism and hope to his readers. This triple effort will no doubt arouse the genuine interest of William Faulkner’s and Apuleius’ scholars alike, as well as those actively engaged in giving precise critical assessments in the wider field of reception studies. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
