Talk:Western fiction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Eastern fiction?

I'm curious: Is there such thing as "Eastern fiction"? I mean fiction set in the American East in the 1800's. Gringo300 23:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Faulkner

Being much more familiar with Western films than the popular serial and dime novels of the first half of the 20th century, it seems like Faulkner's novels have quite a bit in common thematically with the genre, despite being set in the East. Of course, unless this connection is well established in academia or popular culture, it shouldn't be mentioned here. --Rumblegoose 00:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
