Hunting Stories.

Hunting Stories by William Faulkner is a posthumously assembled collection that brings together several of the author’s short works centered on the culture, rituals, and symbolism of hunting in the American South. These stories—including “The Bear,” “Race at Morning,” and others—explore themes of tradition, masculinity, race, and the human relationship with nature. Through dense, evocative prose and layered narratives, Faulkner uses the hunting motif not merely as sport but as a lens through which to examine the legacies of Southern history and moral inheritance. Set primarily in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, the stories often contrast the innocence and idealism of youth with the complexities of adult experience, particularly in relation to honor, memory, and ecological awareness.
