Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner | Gothic Fiction Series 

Another good tip to reading is just surrender and let the words wash over you

I currently have to make a project for an AP class based upon this book. I plan on making parallels to how the frame narration, southern sympathies and social structure, and biblical illusion make the story a Bible like narrative. This video helped me with some of that perspective, so thank you!

Finishing up a semester where the highlight course was Faulkner and writers of the global south, writing a paper on anachronism in Faulkner's AA and Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn, great video, thanks for bringing my attention to Isak Dinesen!

Great job explaining a very difficult book. _Absalom, Absalom_ is the book we are reading this summer for Faulkner in August an annual event where there is a group read and discussion of a Faulkner novel. If you decide to re-read this book maybe think about joining us.

I am an Australian poet & critic, & I have really enjoyed discovering your book channel - brilliant you. Thanks for the inspiration to give this poetic novel a chance. I haven't read any Faulkner (yes, I know, shocking) but I will search this book out.

I read A Rose for Emily and Sanctuary yrs ago and thought, "What's the big deal about reading WF?" but then I read the Sound and the Fury and wow, I got it. It was for a lit. class and I remember Id sip whiskey while reading it hoping that would make it easier to comprehend since whiskey was his thing but I was relieved when I finished it and really dont remember much of the plot. It's wild that a select group of authors can somehow get away with writing in a way that defies all the normal rules of writing and is not enjoyable to read for most people but still become renowned and even exalted!

This is a great book for people who are learning to read.

Just finished this; it's a very tough read but well worth it. Thanks for your great commentary.

loved your content

A great summary on a challenging read. I'm a little over halfway into the book and it's my second attempt. The second time around is a little easier to comprehend the narrative.. Notice how short my sentences are.

Hola buen día, me encantó tu reseña lo estoy comenzando a leer y si es muy complejo me estoy dando cuenta de lo mismo que dices sobre la perspectiva que cada persona se lleva a la tumba sobre un ucho o una historia, es inteligente y loco

God you’re beautiful

Faulkner’s lengthy sentences are pretentious like some dude on Twitter. Get a fllter, dude.
