Çapulcular

Faulkner is often associated with dense, poetic prose and serious themes. I wonder what inspired him to write a more lighthearted, comedic story here.

The book has a playful tone, but some moments touch on serious social issues. How did others interpret the balance between humor and critique?

The setting feels so immersive — I’m curious whether Faulkner drew from personal experience or extensive research to craft this nostalgic world.
