this is my favorite book. it's challenging to parse (people describe it as stream of consciousness, which is only kind of true, but between the characters' accents and faulkner being a wordy fella sometimes it's really hard to tell what's going on) but there are passages from it that i think about multiple times a day. the way some of the characters experience alienation from their bodies and/or reality is so tangible. it is kind of a black comedy about a family carrying their mother's dead body to her chosen resting place, hijinks ensue.

Actually the great American novel! A former lover suggested-- nay demanded-- that I read this and I feel eternally grateful. The most accessible and in my opinion, important Faulkner there is. The prose is so beautiful and rich, each page on its own is a joy to read. But the story, the STORY is wild and horrifying and wrenching in both the micro and macro. I read this last spring and wished that I had read it for the first time in the summer but in hindsight: this is a winter time book. It's made to be devoured slowly and introspectively. I wish there was a film adaptation.

Very played out and cliché thing to say. If you could paint that then why haven’t you?? You don’t have to like the art, just come up with a real critique
