Book Reviews of Flags in the Dust: The complete text of Faulkner's third novel, which appeared in a cut version as Sartoris
Book Review: Yoknapatawpha's worst
Summary: 2 Stars
The two stars is just for his brilliant language and incredible games with words. If you're going to read "Flags," please do wait until you've already read "The Sound and The Fury," "Absalom Absalom," "Sanctuary," and some of his other stars, but don't read this one first. You'll miss out on the beauty of his other works because you won't want to read him again. The sentences go on for days and are just incredibly rambling, even for Faulkner. The story doesn't live up to many of his other ones. One of the aspects of the plot is, is that southern male is troubled somewhat by his sister's sexuality. That usually juices up the rest of Faulkner but it's just kind of voyeuristic, gross and boring here. The copy I read had wisteria on the cover, and that is what this book reminds me of....faded wisteria, with a lingering sticky-sweet smell, but having lost its vibrant color and its potency.
