Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
"I have a feeling about most books that at some point somebody would have written them anyway. But then there are some writers without whom certain stories would never have been written. I don't mean the subject matter or the narrative but just the way in which they did it—their slant on it is truly unique [...] With Faulkner there was always something to surface [...] The point is that with Faulkner one was never indifferent."
—Toni Morrison, from the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, 1985
I think I'd need to read this book fifteen times to get everything out of it. (And it would be worth it.) I'm glad to have read it this time during the height of a cruel heatwave, with only a fan in my ivy-choked window to circulate the thick, dead air.
I feel some Morrison creeping up in my queue.
