Art is subjective. But, as far as I'm concerned? Definitely. Absalom, Absalom and The Sound and the Fury are the most intense books I've ever read. By a very large margin. Probably can't be taught at any level of education nowadays due to perceived racial insensitivity.

Ralph Ellison is no slouch either. His Invisible Man literally changed my life in college ( lo those many years ago!)
I still quote some passages, much to the chagrin of my grown children ??

Glad to come across this, I will be ordering Absalom Absalom, never read a Faulkner book.

After doing a little research on it I am hesitant in that it appears to be an arduous read.

Any other books about the south to recommend? Southern heritage and history are big interest of mine.

Still going to order Absalom and give it a go.
