I'm so excited for this! I'm really interested in also reading Sing, Unburied, Sing and Last Orders. I read and loved Mothering Sunday by Graham Swift and I'd love to try something else by him. I set up Voxer so I'll try sending you a message to join the group chat.
@@sterlingreads547 I’m so glad to hear you like it too! I think it has been a decade since I’ve read it, but it is certainly a book that has stuck with me!
Garcia Marquez convinced me to read "As I Lay Dying." As you probably know it was an important book for him. I think Faulkner's influence abroad is probably greater than any other 20th century american writer. "Sanctuary" was the first Faulkner book I read and stylistically is "reader friendly" unlike his other books. I've been searching for Jorge Luis Borges translation of Wild Palms. Apparently that translation had a huge impact on Latin American writers who read it. I once saw it on ebay but the seller was asking hundreds of dollars for it.
@@LibroParadiso-ep4zt Fascinating. I had no idea that Borges translated Faulkner! I really knew nothing about these links to Faulkner until your comment but I’m now fascinated and eager to learn more.
@@HannahsBooks Faulkner runs deep in Mexican and South American fiction. Mario Vargas Llosa in an interview said he was enchanted by the world Faulkner had invented in his books set in Yoknapatawpha. The same with Marquez. Faulkner crops up everywhere. I was watching an interview with Guillermo Arriaga the screenplay writer of the film "Amores Perros" and "21 Grams" and he said Shakespeare and Faulkner were his greatest influences. Have you read "Pedro Paramo" by Juan Rulfo? That novel, his only novel, and a handful of short stories thematically are Faulknerian. . It had a deeper affect on Marquez than Kafka's Metamorphosis or As I Lay Dying. It's actually a good book to read with "As I Lay Dying." One final note on Wild Palms. In addition to reading it after learning about Borges' translation, I'd seen Godard's "Breathless." If you've seen the film, remember Jean Seberg's character is reading the book and she quotes I think is the final sentence in the book which from memory is "Between grief and nothing, and I choose grief." After that there was no turning back.
I'm probably full up on reading plans but AILD is a good one. I remember reading it on the subway as I sat commuting. Btw, the ad that YT showed before this video was some kind of testosterone drenched workout plan expressly for men who earn more than $150k. Probably the most un-Hanna'sBooks ad imaginable.
Hi Hannah I'm really interested in taking part. Will everyone be reading the same edition? This is the first event I've joined -- is there anything else I need to do?
@@heathereads How wonderful! No-I don’t think we’ll worry about trying to read the same edition. I think the next step is to make a Voxer account. Ros (of Scallydandling about the books) talked about Voxer in her recent Faulkner announcement. I am assuming we’ll probably divide the book into four parts and talk about one section each week.
Wonderful! It will be great to have you there! Do you have a Voxer account? If you don't, you might watch Ros's announcement where she briefly talks about Voxer. Conversations will be held there!

I'm excited for Faulkner and think it will be a great group read. I'd be up for reading Sing, Unburied, Sing as well!
@@ariannefowler455 Lovely! I am definitely getting excited about the project!

Oh, Excellent!!
I’ll be there! Thanks, Hannah.
Wonderful!
That thumbnail is brilliant Hannah.
Thank you so much, Ros!
Wonderful book!

I’ve always wanted to read Faulkner and would love to join the discussion!

@@LibroParadiso-ep4zt Thank you so much for sharing all this with me! What an interesting connection! I’ll definitely look into Pedro Paramo!

Ha! Perhaps that is because I posted a video about Westerns followed by a video about an author sometimes called a dude-bro!
(I'm about to post one that is the ultimate feminization of something...)
I've never read Faulkner, might be a bit modernist for me, I should perhaps give it a go.
@@clarepotter7584 We’d love to have you! Give it a try!
I have never read Faulkner! This sounds like a great place to start.
Definitely! Would you like to be added to the Voxer discussion group?
Sure, thank you Hannah❤
@@jodihowe7274 Could you share your Voxer name with me?
@@HannahsBooks I would love to, but I am unfamiliar with Voxer. I will learn. Stay tuned 😉
@@jodihowe7274 You might watch Ros’s Faulkner video for a lovely little discussion about Voxer.

@@HannahsBooks I well have to set up an account. Okay see you soon.
Hannah will your voxer also be for Sing, Unburied, Sing?
@@MemphisJones Yes-I will make a Voxer group for it. If you make an account, I will add you to both groups if you like.
Is it too late to join the Voxer group? I just got a copy of the book.
Let me ask the group!
Looks fine. I will add you right now.
