The book that was read to and taught to you then is not the book Faulkner
read or you will read this time and it is a lot less disjointed. Oddly, it
is one of the most pur together of all of his novels with all of the loose
ends tied and all of the questions answered though it took me 20 yearts to
work out one part of the answer, Even during that time I found myself
comeing back to it over and over until I did find the ansers to all my
questions. I am not a chrisitian and some of the answer might have come
earlier but the critics were of no help as they kept saying the Christian
Imagery was meaningless. It wasn't and isn't though whether or not Faulkner
intended it to be is irrelevant. Don't ask about F's intention. Read the
book for what it is and you will do fine.

Light In August... I had to read that for a high school English class. It wasn't available on tape back then, so another student read me most of it. Both she and I came from strict fundamentalist Christian homes, so several of the scenes were awkward for both of us. I wonder how much my view of the book and the author have been influenced because of how the book was presented to me at the time. My impression was that it's written in a oddly disjointed style. I think I will reread it if for no other reason than to see what it's like with 20 years hindsight.
