Faulkner/Knight's Gambit
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page book review and personal reaction to Knight's Gambit by William Faulkner, which is a collection of five mystery stories and one novella that all feature the same character, a lawyer practicing in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi named Gavin Stevens. What makes this collection fascinating is not only Faulkner's adaptation of the detective fiction genre to his favorite locale, but the stories collectively show the evolution of the Stevens' evolving conceptualization of truth and the proper application of justice. Throughout the course of the collection, Stevens' orientation moves away from supporting impartial legal justice towards a stance wherein this character favors instead his own self-made, self-interpreted form of social justice.
