Pretty much a fact. Try reading The Waves by Virginia Woolf right after, kek you almost feel embarrassed for her. Kid stuff in comparison truly kid stuff.
It's not even that good of a book. Only relevant because it's gimmicky.

is this the meme thread?
Faulkner loved niggers too much, so it's obvious that he couldn't ascend to a higher level of literature.

first two POVs were absolute amazing. second two were much less memorable and actually brought the entire novel down imo.

faulkner's avant-garde style is great. faulkners traditional writing is just terrible. i often wonder if his abstract writing is only good in comparison to his traditional prose.
this novel contains all of my observations.
What about Absalom, Absalom! OP?

You're supposed to jerk off to his corncobby prose rather than the corncobbing.
Faulkner's mediocre though. His reputation is massively overblown. Nabokov was right when he dismissed him.
