>write a bunch of unintelligible gibberish about some degenerate family in the south>"OMG he's le heckin genius!!!"What the fuck is this bullshit
>>24110247it becomes entirely intelligible. its the southern gothic cliches, characters reduced to symbols, and ironically the overt telegraphing of exposition later on that taints the book
>>24110252Fuck off FaulknerAren't you supposed to be dead or something
>>24110247>write a bunch of unintelligible gibberish about some degenerate family in the southDoesn't reducing the whole book to this prove that you didn't actually read it?
>>24110274Sadly I did read it and it was absolutely shitThe novelty factor of le heckin stream of consciousness gets annoying fast.>and then I went OMG CADDIE DONT DO IT DONT FUCK HIM AND GET PREGNANT I WRITE LIKE THIS WITHOUT DOTS AND STRUCTURE FOR TWO MORE PARAGRAPHS to the south side of town where I found an Italian girl
If a book is too difficult for you it's okay to not read it.
>>24110247Southern literature is like black literature. I just don't read it.
>>24110341You're like a Jacob collier fan; "if it's complex it's le good!"Even if it sounds like shit
>>24110247The book paints a portrait of the despair experienced by Southerners memories about the death of the Old South. There's a reason why his work resonated with the region and inspired writers for a century, because they felt similar confusion and pain about their identity and destiny.If you can't appreciate it for what it is, you were probably brainwashed by mainstream history (propaganda), or aren't capable of empathy. But I don't really care about your opinion on it because the book was mostly for us, even if it should be universal.
>>24110376>experience a bit of economic downturn with the rest of the country >seethe and attribute this to losing your own chimpout 70 years earlier or soWhy are southoids like this?
>>24110247Don't make threads about books 8 pages in.

>see a lost little immigrant girl >buy her bread >take her by the hand >her fingers are damp and wriggly like worms >start walkin'>she's muching on the bread you bought her >get accused of kidnapping, presumably to rapethis was pretty kino idk what to tell you
>>24113664That bratty little shithead also just stood there in silence and didn't even try to defend him
>>24110247>unintelligibleTo you, maybe.Stick to comics.
>>24114213Nobody who had this as their first Faulkner book can pretend that it wasn't unintelligible for him
>>24110357Are you a 17 year old in AP English class in high school who was assigned this book?You sound like a massive retardIt's fucking 2025 and you have the entirety of the internet to help you understand the bookTry doing it in my day and *somehow* I survived
>>24110247I like the plot but I'm not touching a stream of consciousness book.
>>24115248>using the internet to help understand the bookIsn't that his point? If you need external help to understand a self-isolated fictional book, it might not be exactly readable
>>24110274>Doesn't reducing the whole book to this prove that you didn't actually read it?Yes. OP read like 30 pages tops.
One of the best works ever. Ulysses was garbage this was a masterpiece
>>24115278>Isn't that his point? If you need external help to understand a self-isolated fictional book, it might not be exactly readableI'm sorry, what point?The point is that he's an illiterate? All he has to do is chat with one of the leading AI's to learn about the book. Hey, be the top student in AP English years ago. Like some of us were. When you actually had to use your brain.
>>24115447>just use ai bro just cheat Average Faulkner understander
>>24115465Can you go back in time and misread what I said even more so, Benjy?
>>24115481>brainlet tries to lecture others on Faulkner>unironically uses benjy as an insult instead of a compliment
>>24115523I love Faulkner and disagree with you but you won here desu
>>24115523The feeble whimpers of a tiny manlet, a brainlet, an... Ephilaltes. Misshapen. Grotesque. A stain on humanity. Shaking his tiny fists at the gods that he has no education, the IQ of a cockroach; no original thought in his severely misshapen head. The repulsive offspring of unlawful incest. From a brother raping his sister.
>>24110247Agreed, but I do think the benji chapter is purposely frustrating and unintelligible in order to make the reader feel as if he was retarded, too.I actually finished the book feeling a bit more empathetic, because I can now, if only marginally, understand a bit better how frustrating it must be to have the same emotions and impulses every human has, without the ability to connect or express myself them with the people around me.
>>24115643T. Jason
>>24115447reading was not hard before tiktok was invented
>>24115248>>24115447Imagine that being a "top student" in AP English was such a crowning achievement of your miserable life that you had to mention it not once but twice. You also might want to brush up on your grammar homework, top student.
>>24116343Booktok makes me hard
>>24116694kys simp
>>24116587Oh it's the useless prick who only makes comments like this, and the only thing he can create is fear in any woman he's near

>>24116694halfway through reverse bimbofication
>>24118071OP never pretended to be a genius author tho
>>24118103I don’t care post a fit faggot
>>24115189it takes like 3 pages max to understand what's happening, just try not being not retarded
>>24118422>yeah bro I totally understood the entire timeline, that there are two caddies and that one of them left, that Quentin commited suicide, the extremely vague insinuations about family dynamics all on first try just from reading the first chapter written from benjys retard perspectiveSure bro
>>24118491>two caddiesMixed it up, meant two Quentins and that caddie left
>>24110247>Her pants got muddy>Get it? Her butt had mud on it>She was a dirty girl!>UNCLEAN, GET IT GET IT???/lit/ thinks this is profound. A damning testimony to the level of taste /lit/ has.
