Faulkner at his best is awesome and not remotely dry. TGG is not dull at all. It’s not plot-centric if that’s what you’re talking about.

I taught Faulkner's Barn Burning to Soph/Jr for many years. It's one of the great coming of age stories - waking to moral responsibility at the expense of one's family ties.

I never used Sound and the Fury for high schoolers, but it is an incredible work of art. He's tough, no doubt, but one of our geniuses of literature.
