avaerickson3 's review for:
The Wild Palms
by William Faulkner
I really loved the stories in this book. It was really neat how the two stories alternated, giving us the same themes, without ever connecting. That format made it a quick and interesting read. However, I felt that the characters lacked some dimension, I was never really invested in what happened to them, although maybe that was the point. I was turned off by the repeated racism and misogyny, while it is expected from a southern writer of the time, I'm not sure it has a place on my modern bookshelf.
