>>	Anonymous Tue, Feb 8, 2022 13:17:36 No.19890802 Doesn't Faulkner filter ESLs? I imagine the novels would, the stream of consciousness in Sound and the Fury gets to a raving incoherency at some points. His short stories are pretty comfy reads though.

>>	Anonymous Tue, Feb 8, 2022 13:26:16 No.19890834 >>19890802 In the incoherent portions, Faulkner himself is writing like someone with no command over English and with a broken syntax.
