We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will.

The second William Faulkner short story I have read turned out to be an absolute success. On diverting, brief eight pages, Faulkner manages to introduce his readers to the character of Miss Emily Grierson, a woman marked by loneliness and bitterness. This story deals with a person's inability to adjust to changing surroundings, to become a respected part of the society. And it succeeds on each and every level.

The story starts off with a slow narration, recounting the life of Emily Grierson until Faulkner's final revelation will step around the corner and confront you totally unexpectedly. It is impossible to talk about this story without spoiling its most important turn of events, so I will leave this review at a whole-hearted recommendation for you to read it. Even though (or rather because) it does include some creepy parts, the story will also probably burn into your mind unlike anything else you have read so far. You can read it for free here. ( )

I had to read this a few times in school, so I don't remember the dates that I finished this story, but I did enjoy it. ( )

This is a delightfully creepy short story, and my first introduction to the writing of [a: William Faulkner|3535|William Faulkner|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1373572902p2/3535.jpg]. While it carries some of the hallmarks of his writing - disjointed time, strange narration - it is a far cry from what he normally writes. This is arguably one of the earliest examples of the Southern Gothic genre and a fantastic example of it.

An easy read, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the genre in general. If you don't mind some Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho level creepy in your day. ( )
