I’d definitely go to Absalom, Absalom! Not because it’s pleasant or has palm trees, mind you, but because it’s unfinished business.
I’d walk the red roads of Yoknapatawpha at dusk, sit on a sagging porch with a glass sweating in my hand, peeled lead-based paint dropping into my glass, and listen. I wouldn’t try to fix anything. That’s where folks like me tend to go wrong. I’d listen long enough to hear what people are choosing not to say, the pauses, the stories made crooked on purpose. I’d like to see whether the ghosts know they’re ghosts, or if they still think they’re just horribly misunderstood.
