rhoetger 's review for:
Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
Rating: 4.5 stars
This was my first introduction to William Faulkner, and I was afraid I wouldn't like it, but âI don't hate it ... I don't. I don't! I don't hate it! I don't hate it!â :)
This story, while complex and a little difficult at times to understand, is about human nature and the desire to change and become better. While it chronicles the life of Thomas Sutpen, the lives of those he has contact with or who have learned his story change as well. I can understand why it has been deemed one of the greatest novels. The prose, run on sentences aside, is simply beautiful.
I am excited to read The Sound and the Fury, which also has Quentin Compson.
