The 2013 Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, “Faulkner and the Black Literatures of the Americas,” will begin on Sunday, July, 21.
The five-day conference will consist of lectures and discussions exploring the relationships between Faulkner’s body of work and a hemispheric corpus of black writing. Many writers, teachers, and literary scholars will attend the event.
Guests will have the opportunity to attend panel presentations, a dinner at Rowan Oak, and exhibits showcasing historical photography and displays.
Participants may also choose to take tours of North Mississippi, the Mississippi Delta, and Memphis, Tenn.
