bubblegumbook 's review for:
Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
This book was hell in a hand basket. I felt like I was reading someones dream. It was fun in the beginning but by the end I wanted to wake up from this nightmare. As a student of literature, I appreciate the Modernist technique of erasing filters between reality and literature, because Faulkner did an excellent job in that sense. But as a reader who just wants to have a good time, this novel made me want to die. It was like trying to run in a dream but being stuck in the same place. I read this for my Modernism and Postmodernism class.
