Abstract
The aim of this essay is twofold. The first part of the essay discusses the Bakhtinian concept of the grotesque body and its possible connections to the expression of senses in the American South. The second part of the essay shows how the concepts of grotesque and senses have become the literature-generating principles in the American South. Their analysis in the essay relies upon the characters of Caddy and Quentin Compson, Eula Varner Snopes and Linda Snopes Kohl, and nameless mulattas in Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury (1929), the Snopes trilogy (1940-1959), and Go Down, Moses (1942).
