Excellent story about a family trying to bury its matriarch in her birthtown.

I find Faulkner's writing to be brilliant. He uses multiple perspectives, which I tend to enjoy, stream of consiciousness, and at one point, it appears that the dead woman has something to say, too. All in all, a solid read, albeit filled with tragic characters.

I'm looking forward to reading more Faulkner in my future. ...more
