As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
3.0

not light-hearted. i love the claim that faulkner wrote this in six weeks and didn't change a word. and i mostly appreciate the stream of consciousness writing style. but what i think i liked most is that faulkner tackles topics like abortion, feminism and sexuality and does so in a way that seems rather ahead of its time.
