A review by jackroche

dark mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

My mileage has varied on Faulkner’s longer stuff, only a reflection on my inadequacies as a reader, but this is certainly my speed. The elegance of the Russian nesting doll of memories, the arc and development of the town and its character, the gothic unease. Haunting and sad.
