I know you guys are trolling but the idea that a novel that uses the n-word 100+ times is "woke" is just very amusing to me for some reason, makes me wonder what would happen if we sent SJWs back in time to 1929

Is Fagner one of the most overrated of the American giants? I have NEVER found his work to be compelling.
>>
>>25189752
Some of Faulkner's behavior in his personal life is perplexing. He appears to have been insecure with himself and a bit neurotic, but he never talked about it. Even once he was eventually recognized, surpassed the reputation of his grandfather, awarded the nobel prize, and began making money in Hollywood, alcoholism got the better of him.

I just read this for the first time, I didn't really get any "white people bad" about it. I got "niggers are stupid and lazy" out of it, but I already knew that.

They killed 30,000 of their own people and are holding the global economy hostage. They need to die.

Light in August and Absalom are peak kino. These are the novels where Faulkner showcases his rather amazing voice.

Sound and the Furry and As I Lay Dying are so derivative of Joyce and other continental modernist works that I consider them unreadable, and I will never understand why people like them.

1920's white trash needed to be beat over the head with obvious morals like that

Ok OP, what isn’t woke?

I'm a euro and I love Faulkner. Do americans hate him because he's compulsory reading?
>>
>>25192864
Maybe I'm ignorant but I don't think 1920's white trash would read books like this.
>>
>>25192868
americans hate him because they're a nation of subhuman lardos

Nah nobody hates him. We read AILD in AP lit and everyone enjoyed it.

anything more complicated than a burger king menu is considered pretentious to burgers

This is true in a sense though I know you’re being hyperbolic. I have American friends who believe me some sort of intellectual autist because I read a lot, I generally read a lot of classic stuff and Faulkner is about as recent as I go (generally). But though I am an autist, I am not an intellectual in any way shape or form. I just like reading, it’s literarily entertaining for me to explore different styles and I like to learn about things that lay outside of my own cultural sphere.
>>
>>25192950
>discipline equals autism
it makes me sick the nonsense people have to tell themselves to justify their weakmindedness and laziness. maybe camps and gulags aren't a bad idea after all.
>>
>>25192977
It true I am a bit of a sperg but yeah, you’re right. Rampant anti intellectualism’s law has decreed that if you care about literature for literature’s sake; or you enjoy works that are considered more challenging because of how they force you to read in a more unorthodox manner, then you MUST be a rain man sperg.

he wasn't racist enough.

>>25190288
Niggers just being stupid and lazy was a pretty pillow fisted and woke coded sentiment for the time.
>>
>>25192915
Have you seen burger king menus these days? They are essentially Finnigan's Wake. Takes a high Iq to understand them.

>why do Americans hate him
we hate anything that requires us to think, but /lit/ hates him because he didn't type "LYNCH NIGGERS KILL NIGGERS" for 500 pages. that and the thought-terminating Nabokov shitpost

>>25193249
There’s something very sad about your pic related

Jason went to college and learned to grade cotton and built a business for himself because he wasn't some dumb shucking and jiving nigger who spent all day in the basement trying to figure out how to play a saw like a bass.
