i'm not the most avid reader, so i need some recommendations...


perhaps something other than williams, lee, or capote... maybe some i've not heard of.

although, i've not ever read any faulkner (!) , is the praise warranted? if so, which of his books are the best?

THANKS

I have no recommendations, but this is the type of stuff I'd be interested to read too. I read Nick Cave's novel, hoping for this kind of stuff... or at least those kinds of landscapes. Oh my, that was heavy and hard.

I did a module on American Gothic lit and I'd recommend Flannery O'Connor's short stories. Not sure if its the kind of thing you're looking for but I really liked them. Check out Good Country People, its probably online somewhere.

Faulkner gave me a headache and I gave up, maybe I'll try again one day!
