I'd like to define this masterpiece of American literature not so much as a reading, a text like many other novels, masterpieces and not, but as a total reading experience. Immersive, like hiking in cloud. The impression left by the last page, when the tough alert reader comes to an end, is that bittersweet feeling of a goodbye in which mixed feelings simmer. First, feel the great relief for having finished it - reading it the first time is really difficult; second, amazement that Faulkner could represent reality in such a way as to settle in a reader's emotional landscape, with just words. Only words.
