Title: Absalom Absalom-Absolutely Amazing!
Review: There is no question that this is one of Faulkner's greatest and most challenging books. Faulkner's symbolic and engaging story of the rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen (representing the rise and fall of the old South) is an absolutely fascinating read. Similar to The Sound and the Fury, the story is summed up in the first chapter, leaving the reader both confused and curious to find out more. I would definitely recommend the re-reading of chapter 1 upon completion of the book to bring it all together. And for those who just want to sit back and dully rea through a book, you may wnat to ignore this one. This is for the reading hobbyist who is up for both a challenge and an emotional reading experience. Having completed the book 3 days ago, I am unable to get it out of my mind. It is that powerful!
