Okay, I know, I know. All you Faulker fans out there are going to pounce on me, call me an uneducated whosie-whatsit who can't appreciate the genius of Faulker, etc, etc. Here's the thing: the story isn't what I dislike, it's Faulker's writing style that kills me. Every time I read Faulkner I enjoy the story but hate the process of chipping through the layers of Faulkerese to get to it. Honestly, the only reason I'm even rating this is so that PBS will stop recommending his books.
