Indlæser... Go Down, Moses (1942)af William Faulkner
   Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. For the most part, I liked this book. This is a collection of seven interrelated "short" stories. All the stories have themes about race and wilderness. They are all set in his fictitious Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. My favorite story was called "The Bear" and it probably the most famous one in this book. My only complaint about this collection is some of the stories seemed more like novella than short stories. However, I liked the wilderness aspect of the book that makes it a great summer/autumn read. (  ) Ghost_Boy | Aug 25, 2022 |  I had to read this book for my Major American Writers class this semester. My teacher recommended using another source to help get a better understanding of the book while reading it. The discussions in class made it sound interesting, but it was hard to get through the reading. DoomLuz | Jul 20, 2021 | Tried to read Faulkner several times. I am just not a fan. Currently at 35% and hating it. Maybe I will learn to appreciate him by the end?? It did get better, but I find his style rambling and hard to follow at times. I don't think it helped that a large portion of the book was describing "hunting in the woods" which I have zero interest in. Also the book is composed of 7 short stories that are loosely related, so it lacked the continuity of a traditional novel. It will be interesting to see how this compares to his other works.

Features black characters (Rider and Lucas Beauchamp) narrating large portions of the novel, which is a huge step for Faulkner's career. Some of the stories are better than others, and occasionally hard to get through, but worthwhile.
