Absalom, Absalom!

''Absalom, Absalom!'' is a Southern Gothic novel by the American author William Faulkner, first published in 1936. Taking place before, during, and after the American Civil War, it focuses on the rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen, a plantation owner in the American South, as told by several unreliable narrators many years later.

''Absalom, Absalom!'', along with ''The Sound and the Fury'', helped Faulkner win the Nobel Prize in Literature for the year 1949. In 2009, a panel of judges called ''Absalom, Absalom!'' the best Southern novel of all time. Provided by Wikipedia
