Book Two of the WONDROUS STRANGE Series

Praise for WONDROUS STRANGE:

"Readers will revel in the hints of Shakespeare within the text . . . Set against the backdrop of present-day New York City, this enchanting first novel weaves together worlds of theater and magic in a way that is sure to please fans of both." -- School Library Journal

Stands out with a balanced mix of folklore and authorial invention . . . Kelley is appealingly feisty and stubborn, and her romance in Sonny develops quickly but believably . . . [Wondrous Strange] will capture readers eager for romance, magic and suspense." --Booklist

This rich work will be well received by Faulknerian students and scholars. Highly recommended." --Library Journal

William Faulkner is often cited as the greatest American novelist of the 20th century, yet he lived a life marked by a pervasive sense of failure. Repeatedly, he failed to master the challenges that erupted upon him in charged moments: crises involving love, war, and race, as well as family, Hollywood, and alcohol. In this imaginative biography, Philip Weinstein, a leading authority on Faulkner, targets Faulkner's sense of unpreparedness as central to both his life and his work.
