Faulkner's literary labyrinths are like mirrors reflecting our own biases and blindspots, forcing us to confront the complexities of history and memory 📖
Meh. If you come at his novels already from a position of psychology, he's not really that pivotal or eye opening. But what do I know? My mother is a fish.
If I recall correctly, Faulkner once dissed Ernest Hemingway by saying "He's never been known to use a word that would send a reader to the dictionary." To which Hemingway replied: "Poor Faulkner. He thinks that big emotion comes from big words." I find it interesting because both of them are now considered some of the greatest juggernauts of literature, but they approached the craft from polar opposite directions.
The more complex language only serves as a conduit to properly, moreso to more fittingly deliver your message, you can do the majority all with simple words but sometimes more learned words are the only things that can properly convey what you're trying to say. Just different styles of writing between the two, Faulkner just tackled things more complexly, complex in no way equates to good either
I read two Faulkner novels when 18 or 19 while attending a technical college. I wasn't an avid reader back then but in an attempt to broaden my outlook on life I slogged through the first novel telling myself maybe I'll absorb its greatness mostly with my subconscious mind because I sure couldn't understand most of it most of the time. Closing the book after reading the last sentence on the last page I could not honestly say I understood what it was about. I had a general idea of time and place and events but nothing I could explain to anyone to demonstrate my understanding. If this was Great Literature I thought to myself "I guess I'll just have to miss out on that portion of intellectual life." Faulkner is a Southern writer. I was raised in the South and was attending a Southern university. And my English literature professor kept bringing his name up when discussing American literature so... After several months had passed I read the novel again. It was one of the most remarkable experiences in my life. Those reread words now conveyed me into the lives of the characters not as an observer but as one experiencing what the characters were experiencing as to perceptions and emotional reactions to those perceptions. Great literature indeed. The same sequence was need for the second novel as well. Time consuming but well worth it.
@@didarul-alam I started with Absalom, Absalom. It is considered his best work and I think it's the best place to start. The first chapter of The Sound and the Fury is very frustrating if you are unfamiliar with Faulkner's style. As I Lay Dying changes perspective each chapter and so it becomes difficult to gain a handle on the rhythm of the style. So I suggest Absalom, Absalom - just read it slowly until you get used to the style.
I was raised a left coast liberal so I knew little about the deep south, but when I went on to read at least half a dozen of Faulkner's classic novels, I learned not only something about the south, but something about the human condition as well. A pretty great writer with a remarkable body of work. Highly recommended.
Thanks for introducing a new writer to my reading world. Because of one of your videos, I read Toni Morrison's Beloved which astonishingly painful. So I will definitely read William's books too.
I really recommend starting with as I lay dying or light in August, and then tackling sound and the fury or absalom, absalom! after. It can also help to look at something like sparknotes or shmoop after each chapter. He's definitely a challenging writer, but certainly one of the great ones.
Nice. I actually recommended a "Why You Should Read William Faulkner" video 3 years ago when they did one for Edgar Allan Poe. Not saying I had anything to do with this. Just glad that it's a thing now.
The best way I can describe Faulkner's soaring stream of consciousness passages would be to compare them to those 3D drawings where you have to let your eyes get slightly out of focus to see a 3D image within the drawing. I get that feeling sometimes with his writing, where you just let the words flow over you, like music or poetry. It has to be savoured, and, if necessary, reread after some reflection to get to another layer of understanding. Faulkner is rarely easy reading, but I am certain I will always keep returning to it. It is very special.
Ugh. I think I need to go back to bed. I just spent a good five minutes researching one of literature's most confusing writers, Sascha Morrell, and wondering why I'd never heard of her books. Now that I know that it's really Faulkner the thumbnail totally makes sense. Couldn't see it before, though. Sometimes it pays to just hit 'play'.
If I were made to read this in highschool, I would've flunked English so hard, it would've made reading Pet Semetary a lot easier for me (I only read about 80 pages out of the 600+ it has, and I was struggling with my fifth-grade reading-level impairment at the time).
The best place to start with Faulkner is, in my opinion, "As I lay Dying", as it is, for one, not that long, and also offers a rather simple narrative.
Faulkner can be very difficult, but most of his work is not. I think Absalom is his greatest achievement but Sound/Fury and As I Lay Dying tend to get the most praise. This short video essay does anyone new to Faulkner no favors, as while some might look at his work through the prisms of "race" and "colonialism" (really ... really?) you'd be selling his work and your time short to take that approach imo (the basic contrast in his work is between planters versus merchants, country folk versus town folk). I'd recommend starting with Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion) and if you like his style then start going through it chronologically when it was written. For Sound and the Fury, you might want to find a good reader's guide, because you will get lost very quickly (the caddy/Caddie action takes place in the first few pages, and it only gets more difficult from there). Enjoy - Faulkner and Melville are America's greatest sons of letters, but they take patience.
3:41 As someone who wrote a book report on a book which I disliked for often using run on sentences, this would be a nightmare. In the essay, to prove my point, I took the entire second sentence of the story, word for word, and typed it all up in MLA font. It took up half a page. The sentence you're talking about here would likely span multiple pages and lose me and the reader in its length.
@@johnhall3570 No, it was actually a spanish autobiography. I can't recall the name of it, but it had a lot of mystery surrounding it as to who actually wrote it. I know, how can you have an autobiography in which you aren't sure who wrote it? Simply put, we don't know if it was actually a completely fictional story written from the perspective of a fictional character. Another option is that the events are accurate, but the writer wanted to be anonymous and wrote himself a pen name which was also used as the name of his protagonist. It was a really weird book, especially when I read it for the first time and couldn't fully translate what I read. I had to look up an english summary of the book and its chapters to actually understand what was going on.
I had to read Faulkner in high school. It wasn't the dissonance of povs that made me not like him, it was his dry, dry tone. I remember falling asleep on the couch reading the Jason chapter of The Sound and the Fury for school because it was sooooo boring.
My senior year AP English teacher hated The Sound and the Fury and swore she would never require her students to read it; so I suppose it’s not for everyone.
“At first I would not go because there might be something I could do and I would not go because there might be something I could do and I would have to haul her back.”- William Faulkner.
¡Hola! Este es seguramente el comentario que algunos de ustedes estaban esperando. Faulkner es ampliamente conocido y respetado entre los que sabemos de literatura (soy de Venezuela). Más aún, muchos escritores en nuestro idioma, como Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes y Juan Carlos Onetti, entre otros, tienen una gran deuda con Faulkner y sus novelas. Empecé a leer “Santuario” y me gustó mucho la historia, aunque no me sentí preparado para comprenderla bien. Sinceramente, creo que necesito una guía de lectura para leer a Faulkner. Por eso abandoné esta gran novela, que espero retomar pronto. Hasta ahora, soy más team Hemingway que team Faulkner 😂 no puedo superar la prosa del natural de Illinois. Créanme cuando les digo que pasan muchas cosas en sus historias, solo que las pasamos por alto. Pero es sin lugar a dudas un gran cuentista. De él he leído “por quién doblan las campanas” y me pareció una novela con altibajos, pero el saldo final es positivo. Ahorita estoy leyendo “islas a la deriva” y me parece increíble, no puedo asimilar que sea una de las obras menos conocidas de Hemingway. Hay muchas frases y palabras sueltas en español en esa obra. Ambos eran grandes a su manera y a sus estilos 👏🏻 recomiendo las entrevistas de ambos publicadas en The Paris Review. Me contenta saber que existe mucho material escrito sobre Hemingway en nuestro idioma, incluso traducido, como la biografía de Anthony Burgess, pero casi no se encuentran estudios ni biografías sobre Faulkner. Creo que esa sí es una falta imperdonable. Me despido felicitándolos por el excelente video que han hecho 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 me han alegrado el día.

You absolutely DON'T need annotations to enjoy Ulysses. The references to turn of the century Irish politics or aesthetic philosophy might not resonate with you, but it's also a fascinating and engrossing peek into the thoughts of its characters, not to mention frequently funny.
i'm reading my first faulkner right now, wild palms. ironically enough, the last book i finished right before that was hemingway's farewell to arms and i had extremely hard time readjusting from hemingway to faulkner. and only today i found out they actually disliked each other and represented two completely opposite styles. Gabriel García Márquez is next in line so i wonder how that will go. god i love second hand book shops
Believe me or not, im related to him not sure on the exact relation, but we share a last name, we lived in similar areas, and my parents also say we're related to them(16 btw)
@TED-ED Can you please do a video about Federico Garcia Lorca and his book la Casa de Bernarda Alba. It’s one of the most important works of spanish literature
The Unvanquished. It's a coming-of-age story of Colonel Sartoris, a reoccurring character in Faulkner's stories, and his ascent into the social respect of Yoknapatawpha expectant to his station not just by birth but also his intellect, courage, and morality that exceed his fellow man.
Same thing happened with me while reading Stephen King's DREAMCATCHER, at first and even more as story progresses, it's hard to tell what was dream and what was in reality. Only the parts where the word Mr. Grey used made me realise it was in the dream...

@@custos3249 That might be true, but there definitely is something special about Faulkner's writing that sets it apart for sure.
Getting to the last word of the 1288 word long sentence leaves you breathless, as if you just ran a marathon, chasing meaning and never catching it.
If I recall correctly, Faulkner once dissed Ernest Hemingway by saying "He's never been known to use a word that would send a reader to the dictionary."

In grad school, we read 3 Faulkner novels, reading them felt like being high: you don’t know what’s going on, but you are having a good time.
I feel that way for Marcel Proust as well.
This is interesting. Fully explains why I constantly get confused throughout his works. Very through explanation!

The Sound and tThe Fury has been sitting on my shed for so long ever since I saw the James Franco movie. I’m gonna give it an honest try.

After all is said and done, Faulkner may be the greatest writer in the English language.
