What Price a “Cheap Idea”? Money, Sanctuary, and Its Intertexts
Location
Nutt Auditorium
Start Date

Description
Temple Drake enters Sanctuary at a run; indeed, at one point Faulkner describes her as almost, “running out of her body.” Even when horribly constrained to be still, in barn and brothel, she obeys the imperatives of a particular form of motion, that of circulation in a monetary sense. Temple compulsively circulates throughout Sanctuary, even as that to which she is subjected ensures the successful circulation of the novel.
