As I Lay Dying

Sartoris

Don't fall for the meme, OP. His books are trash. He hates his readers. He has one or two good ideas and then obscures them in a torrent of verbiage. His "fans" are smug assholes who like to think they're smarter than you because they took the time to feel around again and again in the same garbage pile until they could identify the individual pieces of trash & shit.

I don't even like Faulkner that much on account of his corncobbishness but this has to be the most aggressively plebby pseud hack criticism of anyone I've ever seen.

>There are times when he seems to be writing with a blunt chisel on his grandfather's grave-stone alone at midnight by candlelight; and times when he seems to be babbling into a microphone as if he were addressing a crowd of twenty thousand people.
sounds sick

It's not where that matters. Just start.

>I can tell right in the middle of a page when he's had his first one.

Absalom Absalom or the Unvanquished

I don't know why, but whenever a pseud gives their garbage opinion on Faulkner I get really angry. Anyone who can't see the genius and mastery in Faulkner's work is irredeemable.
