William Faulkner: SANCTUARY

The story's theme is quite controversial: kidnapping and rape. The depiction of rape is quite shocking. Faulkner writes it in a narrative that looks simplistic but the evil it describes has reverberating effect. But more shocking is the false testimony of the victim. Just like that.

Did I enjoy reading it? Yes, but not as much as I enjoyed the more difficult As I Lay Dying.
