Representations of fathers and their children in literature. Franz Kafka's early-twentieth-century German stories "The Judgment"; Metamorphosis; and "Letter to My Father," written as a way to escape his father's authority. Missing or failed fathers and the antebellum South's broken legacy in William Faulkner's novels The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! A white plantation owner's betrayal of his mixed-race daughter in Alice Randall's The Wind Done Gone, a parody of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind.
