Given that each narrator had a limited point of view compared to the big picture of the story, and that each character also had internal tumultuous thoughts that were reflected in his/her stream of consciousness, things got quite fuzzy at times. The definition might sound clear, but in practice things are not so clear … I personally encountered many issues related to understanding what is happening, as the language used by Faulkner was very authentic and it also reflected the characters’ social background and education level. “stream of consciousness is a narrative mode or method that attempts to depict the multitudinous thoughts and feelings which pass through the mind” (J. Faulkner dives deep into the minds of his characters by using only first-person narrators – 15 narrators with a total of 59 chapters (internal monologues), to be precise – in what was an experimental narration technique at that time: streams of consciousness. While the storyline itself is quite simple, the narration tools used by the author complicate the reading experience. The Bundren family on their way to bury their mother/wife. Their relationships begin to fray when a visiting minister with a mysterious past starts to fill their heads with ideas about independence. There is also Pandora, with thick braids and long limbs, whose beauty calls to him. He now finds solace in his hearty band of friends, including William, who is like a brother Margaret Little Zander and Milton, a gifted artist. And it hurts Cato, whose first love, Iris, was sold off with no forewarning. It hurts the reserved and stubborn William, who finds himself falling for Margaret, a small but mighty woman with self-possession beyond her years.

Subject to the whims of their tyrannical and eccentric captor, Cannonball Greene, they never know what harm may befall them: inhumane physical toil in the plantation’s quarry by day, a beating by night, or the sale of a loved one at any moment. In a world that would be allegorical if it weren’t saturated in harsh truths, Cato and William meet at Placid Hall, a plantation in an unspecified part of the American South. They are taught their captors’ tongues and their beliefs but they have a language and rituals all their own. The Water Dancer meets The Prophets in this spare, gripping, and beautifully rendered novel exploring love and friendship among a group of enslaved Black strivers in the mid-19th century.

And that’s why I shouldn’t read books from around this time. Even the accounts of the lamasery with all its mystery bored me. Unfortunately, while the word “Shangri-La” conjurs images of awesomeness, this book seemed to lag every few pages. Lost Horizons may be familiar to most as the story of how a team of men found the fictional Shangri-La, a wonderful utopia high in the mountains of Tibet. Not that it’s that awful of a story, but I really shouldn’t read too many more books from the 1930s. And the cover announced that it was “the very 1st paperback novel” and how could I ignore that? It was caked in ice, but with a little cleaning up, was mostly undestroyed by the weather. Having not decided what to read next, I was amused to find a frozen paperback in the parking lot at work.
