"Absolom Absolom?" I don't think so.

I've read quite a bit of Faulkner and if you want to read a good Southern gothic murder mystery check out "Intruder in the Dust."

When Faulkner is good he's very good. When he's not he's impenetrable and makes reading a chore, which is not what one wants out of a book.

Intruder in the Dust is one of my favorite novels of all time. Faulkner would probably be the first to admit that he wrote it while taking time off from his "real" writing. LOL.
