J.A.W. Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 He's like the Faulkner of organissimo if you ask me ← Ah, I see what you mean (took me some time, but hey, I've got more things to do... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neveronfriday Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 That would be Faulkner in an "As I Lay Dying" kind of vein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connoisseur series500 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Personally, I'm hoping he's working on a novel. . . . He's like the Faulkner of organissimo if you ask me. . . I enjoy reading his posts a lot. I understand most of them. . . -_- Anyway, I'd wish he'd return to posting. . . has to be more fun than "excavating for a mine." ← Just because he sounds like Benjy don't mean he's Faulkner... ← Btw, folks. I like reading Faulkner. I see few similarities between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well I do. It's more the way that he creates his own little world of words. Faulkner did that, even created his own little county. Rag on him, sure, he likes that. But he's smart and sassy and has a depth of his own. . . a depth that some other posters don't have. That's how I see it.

Randy Twizzle Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Here's another similarity: Faulkner was a Southerner and Clem liked to type "Ya'll" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Don't get me wrong; I'll go along with his being intelligent. I'm just not impressed with the writing style. Or the social skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 You know I'd like to reread a number of Faulkner books, I'd like to have the time; I have so many books piled up to read. . . . And I'm supposed to be putting my time and effort elsewhere. I find I get more out of Faulkner as I gain life experience. That's not always true with some of the authors I've reread, but it has always been true of William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck is a nineteen year old going to get out of that stuff? But don't mind me; I'm still not sure Yankees should read it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think it is worth assigning to college students. . . . Faulkner exposes them to a different style that is "ear opening" in its way, a different use of language. And the thematic material is also in its way different from a lot of other literature and worth exposing students to. I dug him when I was college age a lot, maybe was even influenced by his work somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 August Light is my favorite - nothing Clementine-ish about it - and speaking of Faulkner, you might find the Southern novelist WIlliam Gay intersting - writes beautifully in that Southern vein. Nice guy, too - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
