Welcome to Litsy!

My 13th Faulkner book, here a collection of linked stories, was also the easiest Faulkner to read. It was a nice break after Absalom. These stories cover the civil war from the perspective of two boys at home in Mississippi, one white and one a loyal slave. Told in 1st person, it reads like a document of an era, although it‘s not clear what Faulkner‘s sources were. Could have been his own imagination. Anyway, possibly a good intro to Faulkner.

My current book. The first easy to read Faulkner… (this will be my 13th Faulkner)

On this date in 1897 , William Faulkner was born.I have read a couple of his books , but it was long ago.

You would think reading Faulkner wouldn't be entertaining but taking a graduate course on his work has really given me a new appreciation for southern lit.
