Well I’m biased, but I think Mississippi wins in this list. I am a big Faulkner fan.
I’m a big Faulkner fan too. I’m just glad I didn’t have to know him personally.
Yeah, even though Harper Lee’s book is well written, she couldn’t hold a candle to Light in August, Absalom, Absalom, As I Lay Dying, or Sound and the Fury.
Faulkner will always be the brightest light in American literature, if not all literature. It’s that whole “the human heart in conflict with itself” stuff.
