>>9973103
The Hamlet's an incredibly strong beginning to an unfortunately shit trilogy which I feel has made it a pleasant afterthought to most who've read the (Snopes) trilogy through. The book reveals Faulkner in an almost classic writing mode, weaving 4 central motifs together before concluding brilliantly. I choose it because it's my favorite, of course, although I do like most of his work in general. Particularly Absalom and Light.
