Faulkner can be very accessible. I think this is a good midway point--not so straightforward as his shorter works, like "A Rose for Emily" and "The Bear," but not as experimental as works like The Sound and the Fury.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
