I had read the Melanie Klein prior to picking the topic, and have the book of her essays in my personal collection. Got Irwin from the Queens Library a couple weeks ago, since I had read somewhere that it was a classic of psychoanalytic Faulkner criticism. My psychoanalyst recommended Segal. I found the rest of the articles and book chapters from Hunter OneSearch and the MLA thing that the librarian showed us. Searched for “Faulkner” and/or “Light in August” in the subject field, combined with “Christmas,” “Psych*,” or “Freud,” and probably some others that I can’t remember. This list will certainly be culled before the annotated version is due.
