tstuppy 's review for:

Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner
4.0

This is a very Faulknerian novel, and one that I was assigned to read for the first time ten years ago. Over the past ten years, I've stopped and started this book many times. And now I've gone all the way through.

The writing here is outstanding, though at times definitely too tangled up in style. The narrative structure is great, and it serves as an awesome companion to Sound&Fury. This reminded me of Shadow Country, which was 3 times the length and a bit better. Overall, I'd say read it if you loved Sound&Fury and want more of a knotted narrative.
