One of William Faulkner’s finest novels, As I Lay Dying, originally published in 1930, remains a captivating and stylistically innovative work. The story revolves around a grim yet darkly humorous pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren’s family sets out to fulfill her last wish: to be buried in her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable backwater surroundings of her married life.

The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 15
A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on a regular basis - an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal life - including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady and a young woman who lives next door - becomes increasingly unpredictable.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 8
Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife, Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action and even been deemed blasphemous but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.

The opening sentence of John Irving's breakout novel, The World According to Garp, signals the start of sexual violence, which becomes increasingly political. "Garp's mother, Jenny Fields, was arrested in Boston in 1942 for wounding a man in a movie theater." Jenny is an unmarried nurse; she becomes a single mom and a feminist leader, beloved but polarizing. Her son, Garp, is less beloved, but no less polarizing.

I got my money's worth of this American master
I have listened to maybe 10 of these three dozen or so short stories. I sampled the beginnings of each story (unless it was difficult to bear the narrator). If I liked the voice (several of my favourites herein) and could relate to the subject and character(s) I pressed on - so to speak.
Chapters 12 & 13: barber favours child of the small town and when she grows up, he marries her
Chap 30: Frustrated spinster enlists her boyfriend to murder her gramma
Chap 31-37: Freedom-loving heroin addict
Chap 38: Negotiating damages by trade
Chap 98-104: Old lady's life insurance for coffin (while she lives)
Chap 104: Wife of settled artist is annoyed by his hospitality to vagrant poets.
And a couple of others too. Now that I have skimmed I will go back and try a few more. Faulkner I was introduced to by satires by The Onion and John Malkovich in The Ogre ('96). He's right up there with Steinbeck and London. I am late in life discovering the greats of American literature. Price per judiciously placed word, this collection is a great deal! My only complaint is that unlike at least one of Steven Pinker's book the chapters are just numbers.
from Mistral (chapters 137-141)...
" And so he looked at her," Don whispered, "he had to sit across the table from her, say and watch her. Knowing she had no food of her own and that it was his food that was doing it. And not for him changing. Watching her eating the food that made her change from nothing and becoming everything. You know, girls, they are nothing, and then they are everything. You watch them become everything before your eyes. No, not eyes, it's the same in the dark. You know it before they do. It's not their becoming everything that you dread. It's their finding it out after you have long known it. You die too many times and that's not right, not fair. I hope I'll never have a daughter."
'That's incest,' I whispered.
"I never said it wasn't, I said it was like fire, like watching the fire lean up, in a way rushing."
'You must either watch a fire or burn up in it, or not be there at all. Which would you choose?'
"I don't know, if it was a girl, I'd rather burn up in it."
