Description: A worn but good copy of from one of those perfect little Modern Library productions. 1951, damage to interior binding as shown. Apparently having once been in the possession of one Yvonne Rylee. Named by an Oxford American Magazine poll to be the 'greatest Southern novel ever written', and a contributing factor to Faulkner's Nobel Prize in literature, 'Absalom, Absalom!', is widely considered to be William Faulkner's masterpiece and is related as a sort-of American South 'Ulysses'. Rich, shadowed, and sweltering recreations of the human thought process as narrated by a will-be ghost, 'Absalom, Absalom!' is essential to the student of Southern Gothic Stream of Consciousness (if such a specific discipline exists). .... First published in 1936, Absalom, Absalom! is William Faulkner’s ninth novel and one of his most admired. It tells the story of Thomas Sutpen and his ruthless, single-minded attempt to forge a dynasty in Jefferson, Mississippi, in 1830. Although his grand design is ultimately destroyed by his own sons, a century later the figure of Sutpen continues to haunt young Quentin Compson, who is obsessed with his family legacy and that of the Old South.
