Absalom, Absalom was god-tier until Quentin started talking, did Faulkner really have to give him so many chapters?
Also one of the chapters, where Quentin's dad narrates, is rendered literally pointless because it turns out his theories were wrong because he didn't know the full story. This was probably the intention, but it still sucks.
As I Lay Dying is his best work for sure, it's the most perfect one. The Sound and the Fury would be perfect if it wasn't for Quentin's chapter which wasn't done that well.

Did Quinten run over your dog or something?

No I like him very much, but as I said, why does he narrate so much in Absalom, Absalom? I guess that's the minor problem to me though, the biggest gripe I have is with that chapter which turns out to be wrong.

Kek, this. Quentin's chapter in TSATF is actually my favorite, it has some of the best prose and most emotional wham and is the most innovatic. Quentin's chapters in A.A., I didn't really notice it as a failing, I thought it was an interesting further development/backstory of him from what we see in TSATF, it's obvious he feels extraordinarily insecure later on since Charles killed Bon for taking his sister like a man, Quentin feels he has to live up to the same chivalric standards later when Caddy gets cummed in and dumped. He's essentially forced to be obsessed with the glorified past and with figures who are made out to be more heroic and larger-than-life and crueller than they really were, tying in to the general fall of the South and obsession with more glorious pre-Civil War romantic ways. i dunno.
