I love the complexity of the technique of William Faulkner that is paired with a subtle psychology full of symbols, they give their stories an atmosphere of intense pessimism, bitterness and tragedy, the writer does not shrink from the description of any scene, and is distinguished by its tendency toward the macabre and the horrible, and traits of a universe insanely horrible, cruel and absurd, chaired by fate.
Absalom! Absalom! is told five times between 1835 and 1910 (while Sutpen rest of his persecution of French architect fled with a group of slaves) is the life of Thomas Sutpen, farmer-to-planter, of planting (Called "Hundred") and Bon, possible child might be black and, if it is and Sutpon recognize it, would make it all falls down. gaps and contradictions that multiple narrative exposes us to raise the epistemological question of how we know what we know about historical events. But since in Absalom! Absalom! questions arise from a workplace issue-specific to a region of a black body refused, within the target, which forced labor gives substance to the face, skin, sex and class land-owning white these questions change. "What do you know what and how do you know?" is formulated as "How, knowing that his face, skin, sex and earth are made by the African American labor (well within the property), may continue to deny what they know?". Faulkner's answer would seem to acknowledge what they know (or in the case of Bon Sutpen face as his son) would cease to be themselves. That Absalom! Absalom! Faulkner started to have these ideas, even when his region continued to depend for support of black workers (required to be debt peonage rather than slavery) can explain the structure of this narrative, one of the most important modern novels.
