[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 335711, member: 36"] IMHO, you have tossed Faulkner the writer off. How much of him did you read? Did you just start one of his novel's and form an opinion? To my mind, and I wish to emphasize "[i]my[/i]," he is one of the major stylists of the 20th century. For instance he will write one of his famous convolutions and then proceed, within the same style, to append a half-dozen or so sentences that layer meaning upon meaning. Also, his characterizations of what has been termed the Gothic South are unmatched. Also, as in "Light in August," he gives point of view to a second person, telling the first person account to yet a third person, thus building all three characters/plot in unison. His ability to establish rhetorical balance amidst his convolutions is altogether unmatched by any 20th Century writer except Henry James. Both were geniuses of syntax and found their art in elaborated prose forms. I find him a perpetual challenge and an unmatched poet/novelist. Again, all of the above is just my humble opinion.
