Faulkner just doesn't work. Out of the one book I've read of his, "As I Lay Dying", about the only thing I can remember is the father saying "I wouldn't be beholden to no man" about eight dozen times. And I just read it about 3 months ago. I remember tons more about Ulysses because it's infinitely more interesting than the southern gothic nonsense Faulkner churned out.
