Red Leaves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Red Leaves" is a short story by American author William Faulkner. First published in the Saturday Evening Post on October 25, 1930,[1] it was one of Faulkner's first stories to appear in a national magazine.[2] The next year the story was included in These 13, Faulkner's first collection of short stories.[3] The title of the story symbolizes the American Indian,[4] specifically the Chickasaw.[5]
When writing the story, Faulkner was heavily influenced by Death in the Afternoon by Ernest Hemingway.[6]
James Franco is reportedly directing a short film based on the story.[3]
