A rose for Emily - Faulkner, master of stream-of-consciousness novels
If you want to worship, I will give you a long speech, and I will worship you! But even finishing a copy of "The Yoknapatawline" is enough to experience a virtual death. It is said that the best thing to read is Mr. Li Wenjun's translation - The Sound and the Fury, but I still can't get into this novel. The master's work is really unpredictable. In this case, this short story collection is actually the golden key to glimpse Faulkner's endless style. There is no big obstacle in reading it, and the writing is also very absurd and interesting. It can be said to be a good medicine! ! !
