This is my first Faulkner novel and I really enjoyed it, but it was a bit too slow. I also found Quentin’s chapter a little painful to decipher, but that might just be my pea brain. Faulkner’s prose is beautiful and one of the biggest influences in American literature, and I see his direct influence in so many of my favorite books. I will definitely read more Faulkner eventually.
