Hollywood and Gaming, Simulation and Secrecy: The Postsouthern in "Knight's Gambit"

The article “Hollywood and Gaming, Simulation and Secrecy: The Postsouthern in ‘Knight’s Gambit’” by Taylor Hagood is a literary and cultural analysis of William Faulkner’s Knight’s Gambit within the framework of postsouthern studies. The author examines how Faulkner’s work engages with concepts of simulation, secrecy, and cultural production influenced by Hollywood and gaming metaphors. Instead of reading Faulkner solely in traditional Southern terms, the piece situates Knight’s Gambit in a broader cultural field where Southern identity and historical legacy interact with modern media logic and representational practices. In doing so, the article highlights how Faulkner’s narrative strategies reflect shifts in how the South is imagined, performed, and mediated through cultural forms that blend entertainment, secrecy, and political history. This approach decentralizes conventional Southern themes and emphasizes the interplay between regional identity and wider cultural forces.
