"A Rose for Emily" has been one of my favorite short stories ever since I first read it in high school. Like most of Faulkner's work, it's a hauntingly beautiful story that perfectly illustrates the quiet decline of the South. Your review did a good job of capturing Faulkner's complex and incisive analysis of Southern life.
Makes me want to break out my O'Connor and Faulkner. Great post.

I don't think I have enough self-loathing to appreciate Faulkner.

I might wonder if you have enough cultural awareness to understand, much less appreciate, Faulkner

I just don't see hope and aspiration in the Faulkner I've read.

Nice. Southern fiction is my favorite genre, hands down. I'll keep an eye out for your posts. *NM*
