into his work as completely as Faulkner did, and done it with more candor. As is true of Faulkner, if we look at the body of Garrett's work, with all its doubles and doubling, we derive the sense of a master, of--and here I offer my best regards to the theorists--an author, the mind overseeing the work. This creation of authorial self is what I mean by a "shadow-work," but now I realize that "light-work" might be a better term, because we are talking about illumination.
