William Faulkner

Posted in 2004 Fiction, M.A. Exam List, School by Beth on December 6th, 2004

As I Lay Dying. Another fast reread for school. I reread this because I wrote my seminar paper on this novel and Last Orders; the latter borrows plot and structure and theme pretty heavily from Faulkner. As I Lay Dying is a book that I like better every time I read it, because the story is deceptively simple and you can miss a lot.

This will be on my exam list and the book club is discussing it in March, so I will probably have more to say about it then.
