Blair Labatt is an independent scholar living in San Antonio, Texas.

[Faulkner the Storyteller] offers a fresh view of Faulkner's ocuvre, one that places the Snopes Trilogy at the center of his aesthetic project and not in the margins where too many critics have relegated it. It has the potential of reviving formalist studies of Faulkner, which have been overrun recently by other schools of criticism. - Joseph Urgo, author of Faulkner's Apocrypha: A Fable, Snopes, and the Spirit of Human Rebellion.
