“He stepped from the dark porch, into the moonlight, and with his bloody head and his empty stomach hot, savage, and courageous with whiskey, he entered the street which was to run for fifteen years. The whiskey died away in time and was renewed and died again, but the street ran on.”
Narrative regarding the main character, Joe Christmas, from
Light in August by William Faulkner

ReplyDeleteI haven't read this one yet. I love Faulkner but have to be in the right frame of mind. I'll put it on my list. Here's my TT: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-X7
ReplyDeleteInteresting. This week the teaser on my adult blog comes from Thirty and a Half Excuses by Denise Grover Swank - third in a series of humorous cozies. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this particular Faulkner book, is it good? Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteI am more so than anything else I've read by Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury. Though like those, it isn't very cheery.
