I can't think of a single character from that book that wasn't white, so I'm not sure what you're on about.

You can't really talk about TSATF without mentioning race, though.

Sounds like a personal problem, the book isn't about race

Did you read the last chapter? The one that ties the themes of the book together and offers answers? The one given primarily by the black priest...?

More like did he read fucking any of it. The Compsons have an entire family of black servants

>> No.12756902

>>12754129
Partially. Its about the historical life of the South. The compsons are a dilapidated family from the old Southern aristocracy who have lost all their money, and now, unsure of their societal role, they have to pay servants who used to be their slaves in order to keep up the appearance of wealth.
Very surface level reading, but that's a big part of it.
