"This is the great southern epic. Faulkner delivers a dark twisted tale. A bastard son of a plantation owner wants acknowlegment from his father. Unable to get it he romances his own half sister and plans an marrying her. This emotional blackmail makes for a great climax. Be warned this is an extremely dark novel. This is also the best Faulkner novel."
Cleanth Brooks "'Absalom, Absalom!' is no Southern costume drama about bygone times. It has an all-American theme and a present-day relevance. Sutpen's virtues are those of a typical twentieth-century man. So are his vices--his dismissal of the past, his commitment to the future, and his confidence that, with courage and know-how, he can accomplish literally everything."
Clifton Fadiman "The final blowup of what was once a remarkable, if minor, talent."
