%X William Faulkner¡¯s themes and motifs are topical for the (literary) South to the present day, expressed by an inherent defeatism and structural pessimism. This reading of Barry Hannah¡¯s short stories ¡°The Agony of T. Bandini¡± and ¡°Uncle High Lonesome¡± traces this heritage by identifying Hannah¡¯s settings and psychological environment as ones of anticipated failure and lethargic acceptance of fate.
