Add to basketNew York: Random House, 1936, First edition. A fine copy in black cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and front panel, square and tight in avery good dustwrapper with slight wear at the spine ends, partial closed tear along one fold and slight darkening to the spine. True first edition indicated by "EH" at bottom of copyright page and "1936" on title page. Absalom, Absalom! is considered by many to be William Faulkner's masterpiece. Although the novel's complex and fragmented structure poses considerable difficulty to readers, the book's literary merits make it one of America's finest novels. The story concerns Thomas Sutpen, a poor man who finds wealth and then marries into a respectable family. His ambition and extreme need for control bring about his ruin and the ruin of his family. Sutpen's story is told by several narrators, allowing the reader to observe variations in the saga as it is recounted by different speakers. This unusual technique spotlights one of the novel's central questions: To what extent can people know the truth about the past?
