Beischer Arts and Sciences Professor of English, presents "Traveling With Faulkner," which he describes as a "meditation on Faulkner from the perspective of a black, middle-age, southern-born professor of literature who has never been quite able fully to shake, comprehend, or escape the novelist and oracle of Yoknapatawpha County."
