Yes, there sure are a lot of words in this book. If this was Kerouacean beat poetry it'd be brilliant. As a novel, it is incomprehensible.

"His very body was an empty hall echoing with sonorous defeated names; he was not a being, an entity, he was a commonwealth. He was a barracks filled with stubborn back-looking ghosts still recovering."

So worth the struggle, but such a difficult read. I wonder what Mr. Faulkner would have to say about recent events.

Maybe I’ll reread this when it’s not for class but this books was just way too confusing for me to enjoy it fully.
