karp76 's review for:
Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
This is the quintessential Faulkner. Verbose thoughts streaming across the page, filtering between past and present, thought and voice, character and character. We become lost and we must become lost to understand. We must untangle the web of words and search its storytelling that transcends storytelling. This is the myth of the South, embodied in the fall of the House of Sutpen. This is a tale that grows in its telling. With each subsequent version, we learn more of the past while moving away from what we may truly want, answers, definitive and without question or prejudice. Instead, crawling through the narrations, is the truth, lost and contrived, waiting for us to decipher and find our own meaning.
