A Fable by William Faulkner
1.0
I am an Ivy-league-educated attorney who reads dense legalese every day, and I had a heck of a time getting through this book. Gravity's Rainbow was easier to read than this monstrosity.
I appreciate excellent fiction, and consider myself to be a bit of a snob when it comes to literature, but sometimes a book is too much, even for me. I read this as part of my quest to read all the Pulitzer-prize-winning novels. I've read about eighty of them, and this was by far one of the worst. There's a difference between being verbose for a purpose, and being verbose to show off how many pages you can make one sentence. It is dense for the sake of being dense. And the story is beyond slow.
Painful.
