Sinossi
Nel gennaio del 1937, recensendo "Assalonne, Assalonne!" Borges scriveva: "Conosco due tipi di scrittore: l'uomo la cui prima occupazione sono i procedimenti verbali, e l'uomo la cui prima preoccupazione sono le passioni e le fatiche dell'uomo. Di solito si denigra il primo tacciandolo di "bizantinismo" o lo si esalta defininendolo "artista puro". L'altro, più fortunato riceve gli epiteti elogiativi di "profondo", "umano", "profondamente umano" o il lusinghiero vituperio di "barbaro". Tra i grandi romanzieri Joseph Conrad è stato forse l'ultimo cui interessavano in egual misura le tecniche del romanzo e il carattere dei personaggi. A Faulkner piace esporre il romanzo attraverso i personaggi".
