Yes. I have no idea why so many high school teachers insist on THE SOUND AND THE FURY. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 07/01/2012 09:54:05 AM
Faulkner can be very accessible. I think this is a good midway point--not so straightforward as his shorter works, like "A Rose for Emily" and "The Bear," but not as experimental as works like The Sound and the Fury.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

Well, that sounds a lot more appealing than the impression of Faulkner I had so far. - 06/01/2012 11:47:26 PM 863 Views
