Plus, Faulkner presents it in inverted, dramatic fashion: stuff that happens in the first two pages gets explained on like p.102 and p.310 (don't hold me on the exact page numbers).

    <body><![CDATA[Euripides elucidated the unique issues affecting women and women's rights more elegantly and directly than anyone has since.  <br/><br/>I am tempted to make the same claim for Faulkner's Go Down, Moses.

    <body><![CDATA[William Faulkner is my favorite writer, and every time I read a book by him he proves it to me again.<br/><br/>I've been struck so deeply by his unbelievable facility for exploring, and thereby exposing, the absurd and ultimately injurious nature of human behavior as exampled by the southern menta...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16124101">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't usually like short story collections because short stories require me to get acquainted with new characters and environments without being able to get comfortable with either before the story is over.
