Title: Hard to keep reading; impossible not to
Review: Wonderful writing, slow and steady and relentless as a long walk on a hot day on a dusty road in the deep south. Tragic central story of a proud black man who has tried to live as just Man, not black man, and suffers for it when he is wrongfully accused of murdering a white woman, a woman who for many years was his lover. The further you read, the more certain you are that this cannot end well - but no way can you stop reading.Classic Faulkner at his best, with the typical huge cast of 'characters' (in every sense of the word) and side plots.
