Title: Should Have Been a Thesis
Review: Faulkner has always been an interesting American writer. He was complicated, lazy, unfocused, egocentric, and at times, absolutely brilliant. But Mr. Minter has an overlycomplicated writing style that tends to include too many literary comparisons most readers may not be familiar with. He also has a way of dancing around the topic a little too much for my tastes and makes the book a less enjoyable read than it should be. I would have enjoyed a book that was more to the point and not something that reads like an attention starved graduate student's thesis.
