Sanctuary: The Corrected Text

"When Faulkner tore into the galleys of 'Sanctuary', he didn't change the original story, even if he had come to question it. He did not soften its horrors, nor did he delete the comic interludes: all of these survive unchanged in the novel as first published. His utter disgust with the original version was a craftsman's feeling....Although the revised novel is vastly better, the original 'Sanctuary' is not at all a contemptible book....It should be of service to apprentice writers...learning how a brilliant technician ...could work with disappointing galley proofs, save all the type that could be saved and come out with a new and more effective novel."Faulkner, William is the author of 'Sanctuary: The Corrected Text', published 1993 under ISBN 9780679748144 and ISBN 0679748148.
