Su pr�logo es toda una declaraci�n de intenciones: «Si la �nica manera de que Faulkner vuelva a ser m�s le�do y m�s recordado es no ir con sus libros por delante, como ser�a lo justo, sino con su persona y sus dichos y an�cdotas --esto es, con lo que no escribi�--, entonces hay que plegarse e intentarlo . As�, Mar�as traza en estas p�ginas el retrato de un personaje enigm�tico, t�mido e impertinente que se tomaba tan en serio su actividad como tan poco en serio a s� mismo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLleno de an�cdotas apasionantes sobre el autor, como que William Faulkner escribi� \u003ci\u003eMientras agonizo\u003c\/i\u003e en el plazo de seis semanas, que le�a el \u003ci\u003eQuijote \u003c\/i\u003etodos los a�os o que public� \u003ci\u003eSantuario \u003c\/i\u003epor dinero, este libro incluye dos semblanzas imprescindibles: «William Faulkner a caballo  y «Faulkner habla .

His prologue is an absolute declaration of intentions: \"If the only way to draw more readers back to Faulkner and help him be more remembered is not to begin with his own books first--as it is fair--but with his persona, his sayings and anecdotes--meaning, what he didn't write--then we must yield and try.\" Thus, in these pages, Mar�as outlines the portrait of an enigmatic, shy, and impertinent character that takes his craft more seriously than himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with thrilling anecdotes about the author, such as that William Faulkner wrote \u003ci\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/i\u003e in the span of six weeks, that he read \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e every year, or that he published \u003ci\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/i\u003e for money, this book includes two essential profiles: \"William Faulkner on horseback\" and \"Faulkner speaks.\" This edition is complemented by twelve poems translated from \u003ci\u003eA Green Bough\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), one of his first books, and some \"Travel notes by Faulkner, Mississippi,\" by Manuel Rodr�guez Rivero, who trekked across the ruins of Yoknapatawpha and traced the remnants of its creator in Oxford and New Albany.","brand":"Alfaguara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775691079831,"sku":"9788420477701","price":1383.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788420477701.webp?v=1777991885","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/si-yo-amaneciera-otra-vez-if-i-awoke-once-more-9788420477701","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
