Faulkner definitely doesn't go out of his way to make anything easy for us. Thanks, Bill.

One of the challenges of teaching Light in August is that it's not a conventional text. The narrative approach, lack of sympathetic characters, and a general sense of chaos will more than likely ensure your students receive a sometimes overwhelming reading experience.
