We'll be reading this in my upcoming American Lit class. What am I in for? Is this any good or will it be a slog?

It's a masterpiece and not that long a read. Be grateful it isn't The Sound & the Fury - here he at least indicates who's speaking (and even then it gets a little ... whimsical). It's also deeply fucking depressing, and the last paragraph will devastate you
