Pylon (Vintage International)

Pylon (Vintage International)

One of the few of William Faulknerâ€™s works to be set outside his fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Pylon, first published in 1935, takes place at an air show in a thinly disguised New Orleans named New Valois. An unnamed reporter for a local newspaper tries to understand a very modern mÃ©nage a trois of flyers on the brainstorming circuit. These characters, Faulkner said, â€œwere a fantastic and bizarre phenomenon on the face of the contemporary scene. . . . That is, there was really no place for them in the culture, in the economy, yet they were there, at that time, and everyone knew that they wouldnâ€™t last very long, which they didnâ€™t. . . . That they were outside the range of God, not only of respectability, of love, but of God too.â€ In Pylon Faulkner set out to test their rootless modernity to see if there is any place in it for the old values of the human heart that are the central concerns of his best fiction.
