Dislike him. Writer of corncobby chronicles. To consider them masterpieces is an absurd delusion. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me.

Pay no attention to Nabokov-sama. Faulkner is great. Start with Light in August, it's his most accessible of his "big four." After that, do As I Lay Dying, then you might be ready for The Sound and the Fury. Save Absalom, Absalom! for last, it's his most challenging and most demanding work.

If you enjoyed those, I'd also highly recommend Sanctuary and The Reivers.

Nice Nabokov.

This guy's right. Faulkner isn't a meme. He writes complicated, dense and verbose prose though. Some people think that means it's shit writing, but they don't know much about style and think bow down to Hemingway and other such idols of the cult of clarity.

Clarity is just a failure's buzzword for 'good writing'. Hardly any decent writers use clear, concise speech. There is repetition, tautology and thesaurus overuse in every decent work. Why? Because it can sound fucking great. Because it adds to MOOD and STYLE. Good writing can be wordy, dense and complicated. Get over it cunts.

Try Absalom Absalom first OP. His work is variable. He wrote a lot of pleb shit for money too, and to be honest As I Lay Dying is pleb shit.

Once you are done with Faulkner, practice your Spanish by reading Juan Benet's "Volverás a Región"
