Who's Faulkner?

>>213564326
One of the greatest American authors of all time. The Sound and The Fury is considered to be his greatest work. You should turn off your goyvision and grab a book sometime anon

Filmbros... we won!

he's right

absalom adsalom is also a good read.

Prestige TV eclipsed movies as a medium back when Mad Men and Game of Thrones ruled the roost

It’s on my reading list. I struggled to get through TSATF — the whole stream-of-consciousness thing almost filtered me. How hard is Absalom, Absalom! compared to it?

it is rough, and the narration is overly complex. Faulkner writing in the civil war era is... he reminds me of Melville in that they over depend on period conventions which makes their work harder to digest than need be. It is like listening to someone doing a bad fake accent.

I think he made the original music to Dragon Ball Z.

Bro he even admitted himself that it was a clusterfuck. Him wanting different colored inks for Benjy’s section is basically him acknowledging it

books are for kikes.

Thanks, I’ll stick to Hemingway for now — reading A Farewell to Arms and enjoying it so far. Not needing a damn flowchart just to figure out what’s going on is a nice change of pace. How people even read Ulysses is beyond me.

Sensible chuckle.

i completely agree

Dude... give the bible a try sometime. I made it through but it as like reading birth and death reports and childrens books side by side for 4 months straight.

I find that an odd thing to say because I assume most black people couldn't afford TV back then

Being a Nigger is not only about the color of your skin. It's a mindset, a behavior. Whites can be niggers too.

>>213564832
The Sound of the Fury is the hardest thing he wrote. If you could make it to the end, you can read everything else. Absalom is KINO.

>>213564267 (OP)
who?

To be fair TV got its first good entries in the mid 60s. Actual early tv (1940s-1965) was really rough. Faulkner died in 1962, I assume the quote is somewhere in the 50s.
Aside from the rare high(er)brow show like Columbo, TV was still considered a non-artistic medium at the turn of the millenium. The gap in consideration between tv show format and traditional cinema only closed progressively in the first decade of the century.

Light In August is more normie-friendly in structure. As I Lay Dying is easily his best. Kind of surprised by the quote.

Barn Burning and A Rose for Emily are probably his best-known short stories.

Peter Faulkner, he played Kojak on TV

Old Man and the Sea is kino

What is the context of "niggers" here? What did the word mean back then? Now, obviously, it is a term of endearment, but I don't think it used to be.

Absalom Absalom is his hardest book. Way more difficult to understand than Sound and Fury. Sound and Fury has unique voices sure but it's a lot more comprehensible in terms of overall plot. For something more straightforward I would read Sanctuary or Light In August.

lmao I read it too and this is spot on. Just read Genesis, Exodus, and the Gospel of John.

I'll stick to the Quran thanks

>>213567471
The jihad stuff in the quran is unironaclly badass and its mostly because arabs were tribal nomads like mongols while jews were city homos who never did any labor thats why the bible is gay compared to the arab book
