Note: For this example, I am going to assume that this is the first time introducing the source to readers and I want to establish “ethos” (credibility). I can use a signal phrase to introduce the source; as such, use source's full name and perhaps even give an indication of credentials. Then, any subsequent references to source, can be by last name only, as indicated below: Direct quotation from the above original passage:

Anna S. Blumenthal, noted author of “More Stories Than the Devil Got Sinners: Troy's Stories in August Wilson's Fences,” asserts that, “Troy effectively combines, at times, both his memories and his imaginative allegories, so that it is said of him, "Troy got more stories than the devil got sinners" (13). Troy narrates how he "wrestled" with Death (I, 1), how he conversed with the Devil (I, 1), how he grew up and left home too early (I, 4), and how he made an illegal living as a young man on the riverbanks in Mobile (I, 4)” (par. 4).

Then, below is an example of a later reference from this source (as you can quote from your sources more than once); since the full name of author was given prior, use last name only:

Blumenthal also believes that Troy’s “addresses an interested audience made up of his family and friend Bono, an audience which habitually interacts with Troy as he performs his stories” (par. 4).
