As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
fiction/literatue, (c)1930, 288pp
rating: ***

Despite being an english major, I never read any Faulkner as a college student or as a high school student. I've been trying to expand my literary horizons now that it doesn't feel like such a task to read "the classics", so I pulled As I Laying Dying off of my book

My little joke is that the Faulkner Hospital,here in Boston, was founded solely to treat those who have read too much convoluted Southern Gothic.

I read Light In August, and never read another thing by Faulkner. I thought that Twain did everything far better in Puddin'head Wilson, without the sledgehammer symbolism. At least, that's my story.
