5.0 out of 5 stars
I didn't think English could be this beautiful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sartoris (Paperback)
I just finished this novel. It was my first experience with Faulkners' fiction. I have since purchased 8 more of his "Mississippi" novels. When Faulkner describes shade he names the exact trees making the shade: locust, gum, cypress, oak, pine, birch, willow. He does the same thing with flowers. I reread whole pages several times awed at Faulkners' power to describe. His characters are complex and distinct. He is able to write dialogue of several characters so clearly you feel like you are a fly on the wall observing. The descriptions of civil war antics of long dead relatives are hilarious. I can't believe this book is out of print. I can't believe it has taken me so long to discover America's greatest author.
