We Are Michael Field by Emma Donoghue, Nick Drake
One of the most bizarre partnerships of all time, Michael Field was two women, Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper, aunt and niece, poets and playwrights and lovers, who wrote under their adopted pseudonym to considerable success toward the end of the 19th century. When their identity was inadvertently revealed in a review, a shocked Victorian society shunned them and they withdrew into seclusion. Drawing from their extensive diaries, Emma Donoghue chronicles a remarkable love affair between two extraordinary women who wrote dramas of war, madness, and erotic obsession, as well as lyrics declaring their love for each other.

Novels, 1936-1940 by Joseph Blotner, Noel Polk, William Faulkner
ABSALOM, ABSALOM! is often considered to be Faulkner's greatest book, and one of his most compelling explorations of race, gender, and the burdens of the past. The plot revolves around the character of Thomas Sutpen, son of poor whites in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County. Densely written and notoriously difficult, the novel explores the question of why Sutpen's son, Henry, killed Charles Bon, his friend and classmate, and the suitor of his sister, Judith. The action shifts from the early 19th century, when this event took place, to the present (1909-1910), when Quentin Compson, a student at Harvard, becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about his ancestor Sutpen--and hence about his family's past--and the relevance of that truth to the present. Originally published as a series of short stories in the Saturday Evening Post, THE UNVANQUISHED is one of Faulkner's most conventionally written novels, and one of his most underrated. Set during the Civil War, it tells the story of Bayard Sartoris, his black friend Ringo, and Bayard's strong, determined grandmother, Rosa Millard. In THE HAMLET, the ruthless Flem Snopes rises from poverty to power in Frenchman's Bend with the help of a powerful local landowner, Will Varner. When Varner's daughter, Eula, becomes pregnant by another man, Flem marries her--beginning the dynasty that will continue through two more novels.
