a rose for emily

this book is about a very good short story on the changes of the south during a very representative period!

This is definitely a quick but good read. If I begin to go into detail, it will ruin it for you; however, it is about one Miss Emily Grierson, who is from a respectable family of which she is the sole remaining descendent. She remains shrouded in a cloud of private mystery with only the occasional entry or departure of her black servant to provide her with the basic necessites from the outside world. After a small accumulation of seemingly unconnected incidents, the story ends on a horrifying and ghastly note, which manages to leave the reader confident that he knows what the ending means, but at the same time is left hanging uncertainly. I would also like to strongly recommend _The Sound and the Fury_ to anyone who has enjoyed this or any of Faulkner's works.
