joncperson 's review for:
Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
While I thought the levels of 2nd hand narratives stacked in top of each other was an impressive way to tell this story, it did sometimes do more harm to the reading experience than good. The story itself is poignant, complex, and troubling, with characters that range from despicable to delusional to tragic. It is fascinating how Faulkner managed to fill his book with tons of romantic language about the South yet still manages to harshly criticize it and comes close to condemning it.
