- Title
GHOSTWRITTEN: KINSHIP AND HISTORY IN ABSALOM, ABSALOM!
- Authors
Hurley, Jessica
- Abstract
The article discusses the roles played by kinship and history in terms of haunting in the novel "Absalom, Absalom!" by William Faulkner. The author connects these themes to the concepts of ghosts and alternative histories found in the books "Ghostly Matters," by Avery Gordon, and "Specters of Marx: The State of the Debt, The Work of Mourning, and the New International," by Jacques Derrida. The narrative structure of "Absalom, Absalom!" is also examined.
