My God...four and a half years in college studying English and you just summed up one of Southern Literature's most convoluted narratives in a way that made more sense than anything ever taught to me within the four walls of a classroom. Here's my subscribe. You earned it. Real Talk...

sugarmackb hello, since you liked the book, could you explain to me one thing?

I’m in a dual enrollment class in high school and we’re currently doing this, although I guess it’s 13th grade curriculum. When you prep it with discussing romanticism and modernism, you can grasp it more. You need a good teacher and a student who’s willing to try

I adore Faulkner and this was the first of his books that I read. It was sitting on my folks' shelves, 1st paperback edition, the glue in the spine flaking to bits. When I moved to Seattle I spent hours in used book stores combing the shelves for titles and eventually acquired just about everything he wrote. Good ol' Yoknapatawpha County and all of its mad inhabitants... I still have that old copy of TS&TF.

@rikochette25 9 лет назад

I loved this book in hindsight of the struggle to read and understand it. Faulkner was brilliant in the concept of writing from the character's perspectives. It showcases how perspective influences characters actions in the story. Not every action can be justified, but good or bad, maybe they don't have to. Given the chaos of the human experience, amplified by various personalities, it can be said that a simple moment in life can be so confusing, if not rich. Life, even in its most uneventful moments, can rage and turn. It just depends on how and where you look at it from.

@bethelshiloh 3 года назад

This book sounds like my large family of siblings recalling our rearings. We each remember different things differently. It was complicated, but very interesting. So far, I understand Benjy’s narrative best. Wonder what that means about me?

@ClydeLeeM 10 лет назад

I love this book, there is no single central arc, but there's arcs up and down in confusingly timeless matters throughout the plot with each character. They all show the same angles of life a little differently.

I read this as a sophomore in high school in my Honors English class we were all assigned different books, about two people were assigned to each book, and I chose this one not realizing how much of a pain in the ass it would be. We had to write a paper about an issue that was covered in the book and connect it to the modern time and it had to be 5 pages long. I did mine about sexuality and the other person did hers on mental illness.

My favorite novel! You definitely need some guidance the first time you read it but after that it's a breeze. The book has no central plot, but that certainly doesn't mean Faulkner's not saying anything. He's saying a ton about time, family relationships, God, mental illness, race, and societal norms.

@mischaavros5444 5 лет назад

I always saw this story as 3 different men who are all trying to possess a woman (Caddie or Quentin), and they all fail because they are all too crippled mentally or emotionally to understand that women are people, not objects. And after 3 attempts, there is the fourth part about Dilsey, who has just stopped even trying. I know this isn't what Faulkner was going for, he was trying to convey the grief he felt at losing his ... daughter, I think, but that's what stands out most to me. Also, to me, the song Don't Stop Believing, by Journey, will always be about Quentin and that guy she skipped town with, and what their lives are like afterwards.

@kevindevilling8698 10 лет назад

The first time I read TSATF I thought I was going to have an aneurism...but a teacher, (not unlike you Sweets), turned me on to the symbolic and instructive nature of the title. When I re-read it it made me realize that in spite of it's unorthodox format and pacing, it was a powerful lens turned on human relationships and theology. The seemingly lucid perspective of the fourth segment of the book appears to support the idea that religion and orthodoxy bring clarity, but in fact, our lives are chaos and religion is merely a self-delusion that allows us to accept the otherwise futile and chaotic universe around us. Beneficial but still pointless beyond providing a construct of comfort for all of us.
