Ophthalmic plastic surgery continues to evolve more towards the aesthetic concerns of our patients. In their lectures the internationally well-known oculoplastic surgeons George B. Bartley, Brian S. Biesman, Michael A. Callahan, James C. Fleming, Robert A. Goldberg, Barrett G. Haik, Alan A. McNab and Russell W. Neuhaus gave an update on aesthetic approaches to traditional functional problems (such as nonincisional dacryocystorhinostomies and the deep lateral wall decompression for Graves orbitopathy), as well as the latest information regarding numerous cosmetic procedures, including laser resurfacing, endoscopic brow lifts and laser-assisted blepharoplasty.

The New Critics of the 1930s advanced this view, and it has shaped much Faulkner criticism. However, in Faulkner’s Marginal Couple, John Duvall posits the existence of another possibility, alternative communities formed by “deviant” couples. These couples, who violate “normal” gender roles and behaviors, challenge the either/or view of Faulkner’s world. The study treats in detail the novels Light in August, The Wild Palms, Sanctuary, Pylon, and Absalom, Absalom!, as well as several of Faulkner’s short stories. In discussing each work, Duvall challenges t...
