Aftermath

[cbertsch]

I'm feeling a lot better. But the better I feel, the more I just want to laze on the sofa reading. And not just reading, reading Faulkner. What's up with that? Maybe it's because I'll be heading home to Maryland soon -- the part of Maryland where my parents live used to be very, very Southern -- or just because his sentences feel right in this prolonged altered state. Anyway, the director's cut of Sartoris calls.

I'm planning my first Faulkner adventure soon... maybe next month. What should I read first?

Maybe Go Down Moses. I'm partial to Pylon, but that's more modern and about Louisiana. The Unvanquished is sentimental but good. Absalom, Absalom! is the biggest of the big in terms of rep. As I Lay Dying and Light in August are the two most common starter texts.
