This book reminded me of Faulkner. A totally different voice, but that rambling style where you really get into the head of a protagonist who isn't necessarily likeable, but who the reader feels drawn to understand. This was the first serious literature I had read in a while (I read it when it first came out) and it inspired me to make a little more effort in selecting my novels. With literature this good, why bother with junk?
