Picked my first IRB (Independent Reading Book). I've gotten a warning saying that this was a complicated book, but I think I can do it.... I hope...
(This is the actual copy I borrowed)
It's supposed to be about 3 brothers and their obsession with their sister...
At least that is what I saw as a little summary.
I might need intense concentration, focus and patience... but,
I can do this...
"For all his concern with the South, Faulkner was actually seeking out the nature of man. Thus we must turn to him for that continuity of moral purpose which made for the greatness of out classics."
-Ralph Ellison
"For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterization, humor, and tragic intensity [Faulkner's works] are without equal in out time and country."
-Robert Penn Warren
(Quotes found on the back cover of the book)
