Finishing up a semester where the highlight course was Faulkner and writers of the global south, writing a paper on anachronism in Faulkner's AA and Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn, great video, thanks for bringing my attention to Isak Dinesen!

I currently have to make a project for an AP class based upon this book. I plan on making parallels to how the frame narration, southern sympathies and social structure, and biblical illusion make the story a Bible like narrative. This video helped me with some of that perspective, so thank you!

I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. Good luck with your project!

Another good tip to reading is just surrender and let the words wash over you

Great job explaining a very difficult book. _Absalom, Absalom_ is the book we are reading this summer for Faulkner in August an annual event where there is a group read and discussion of a Faulkner novel. If you decide to re-read this book maybe think about joining us.

I am an Australian poet & critic, & I have really enjoyed discovering your book channel - brilliant you. Thanks for the inspiration to give this poetic novel a chance. I haven't read any Faulkner (yes, I know, shocking) but I will search this book out.

Thanks! I'm glad to see you enjoyed it.

I read A Rose for Emily and Sanctuary yrs ago and thought, "What's the big deal about reading WF?" but then I read the Sound and the Fury and wow, I got it. It was for a lit. class and I remember Id sip whiskey while reading it hoping that would make it easier to comprehend since whiskey was his thing but I was relieved when I finished it and really dont remember much of the plot. It's wild that a select group of authors can somehow get away with writing in a way that defies all the normal rules of writing and is not enjoyable to read for most people but still become renowned and even exalted!

Just finished this; it's a very tough read but well worth it. Thanks for your great commentary.

It's so worth it! I'm glad to hear that you liked the novel .

This is a great book for people who are learning to read.

A great summary on a challenging read. I'm a little over halfway into the book and it's my second attempt. The second time around is a little easier to comprehend the narrative.. Notice how short my sentences are.

Hola buen día, me encantó tu reseña lo estoy comenzando a leer y si es muy complejo me estoy dando cuenta de lo mismo que dices sobre la perspectiva que cada persona se lleva a la tumba sobre un ucho o una historia, es inteligente y loco

God you’re beautiful

Faulkner’s lengthy sentences are pretentious like some dude on Twitter. Get a fllter, dude.
