Just reached the "My mother is a fish" section and this novel is a supreme example of how a genius author can turn any concept into a masterpiece. This book is amazing.
he wrote it in like two weeks too
>>25301058I just read it, i didn’t get it. But I’ve never fished with my father and I can’t swim. Never been to a beach either.
I thought it was boring, incomprehensible garbage honestly Never understood the love for Faulkner
>>25301053Well is your mother a fish?
>>25301812maybe anime and video games are better suited 4u
>>25301812>boring, incomprehensible garbageWhether it's boring or garbage is a matter of opinion, but it's far from incomprehensible, and you believing it to be so makes me immediately ignore your opinion on the matter.
This was my last read, and I wasn't sure about it at first but eventually it really grew on me and the characters were really impactful.I have read The Sound and the Fury awhile ago, and AILD seemed like a step down in distinct voices and style at first, since we get more time with each Compson, but there's something very powerful this book that I can't quite articulate yet, having only just read it.
>Reddit FaulknerYikes...
Objectively one of the best books of the 1930s.
