Reviews

'Jonathan Berliner's comprehensive and wonderfully ambitious examination of a range of writing technologies-paper, parchment, comics, telegrams, Bibles, an ivory tablet-across Faulkner's opus, including the relatively neglected early and late works, is sure to provoke new conversations and insights into what Faulkner called 'the lumber room of literature' not only in Faulkner studies but too in adjacent fields of media studies and book history. William Faulkner and the Materials of Writing reminds us, if we needed reminding, Faulkner has much yet to offer attentive readers and scholars alike.' Sarah Gleeson-White, The University of Sydney
