Show only see all. More refinements More refinements You think if you can make it through this man's novels it will show that you are more intelligent than what people from afar believe you to be, that you are not like the rednecks you see every day but burst from within to bound over, that you are not like your mother's father who you worshiped, a business man and deacon in the town's largest Southern Baptist church, who you remember using the N word once as you sat beside him at 7 as he was driving from downtown Natchez the home of my forefathers , a town on the mighty Mississippi River filled with beautiful antebellum plantation homes and scattered with remnants of slavery and a segregated past before you were born, the town in which your mother is now buried 10 feet from her father.
And your mother, God bless her, along with your father, raised you not to hate, nor to judge, and for that you believe you have been blessed. After she was buried, you finally got the gumption to make it all the way through this knotty novel by that iconic author from the northern corner of your home state of Mississippi. It took a paperback, an electronic companion guide and an audible version to make it through and understand that you needed to read this book, that it was crucial as one more molting of the skin of your past, one more step away from the sins of the fathers, one further step away from that past for my children and hopefully their children.
Read as a student assignment the book would be, and often is, a torment for most students. It is quite simply a difficult read: The characters are veiled, shadowy and obscure. There are two turning points: And don't expect Faulkner to 'hand it to' you in the closing pages - pay attention on every page As a Southerner one must pay homage.
If you are considering purchasing this book not as a requirement for some college course but for pleasure, curiosity, then you must already know something about Faulkner and the place this book has in the canon of American Literature.
But, they are more memorable struggles. Much more of a straight up story.
Hopeful perserverance is a good descrpition. So much, so sad but inevitable. The language is the real allure, of course: It seems to hang suspended in the middle distance forever and forever, so infinitesimal is its progress, like a shabby bead upon the mild red string of road. Believes longer than recollects, longer than knowing even wonders. See all reviews.
