Light in August

So, due to the fact that the book I just read for English class--Maryse Conde's Crossing the Mangrove--is based on a helluva lotta Faulkner, I get to have a great excuse to read my first of his. The prof recommended we all look up some info on the intertextuality of that text and of another--Faulkner's Light in August--so guess what I'm reading this week! That's right. Light in August. I'll be visiting The Red Wheelbarrow on Friday, I think, to get a hold of the book.

My God. Summertime by Gershwin...may be the best song I've ever heard...
