The sense of foreboding is so heavy that I missed some obvious things. At least 6 fascinating characters, richly developed in a short book. Loved it. ( )Nabokov called this Faulkner's "corn cobby fantasy." I think he meant to be dismissive in some way. A corn cob? Hmm... I've been told I'll have to re-read this to actually understand what's going on. I must admit that I find Faulkner difficult to read. His narrative style requires a lot of focus and concentration. However, this novel is worth it. The dark, brooding sense of the Southern Gothic is readily apparent. You can almost feel the spanish moss dripping off the trees. I totally missed the rape scene, oops. Supposedly this was Faulkner's sensational potboiler, which is why everybody is always touting its literary merit. 0.055 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
