Faulkner hate thread
The Sound and the Fury is fucking unbearable with its pretentious vocabulary. Stream of consciousness be some retarded shit. Also the main character is literally retarded.

I just thought it was really boring and uneventful. it also wasn't hard. why do people say it's hard? I just wrote down characters names and there relations and it even goes into italics when the time changes. I wish it didn't. but yeah he's shit.

Jason Compson could have written this review
Where were you when /lit/ was taken over by plebs?

>pretentious vocabulary
What? Where? I just got finished reading this book and the vocabulary wasn't pretentious at all. I'll grant that the book is a bit overwrought, but the Benjy chapter is amazing, albeit confusing (oh no a hard book), and the rest is really solid too. By the way, after about 70 pages the narrator changes. There isn't one main character (and if there is, it's Caddy).

Here's a (You) for you.
>>8161626
The main character is Caddy, you fucking pleb. The story is told from the perspective of her three brothers, and how her actions affected them moving forward.

What the fuck just happened?
I've been posting and joining discussions here for over a few months, and I have not once seen a Faulkner hate thread until now. He may not be to your liking (and there are definitely many who dislike him), but one can't disagree with his contributions to American literature.
He's great.

>pretentious vocabulary
Only one section had anything you could label as pretentious, and it did it on purpose to show that the narrator there was an overeducated and anxious autist. Go read asoiaf and fuck off
>>8161626
Benjy detected.

Faulkner is a genius and possibly the greatest writer of the 20th Century.
