    Using Quentin Compson as a narrator, Absalom! Absalom! offers a complex critique of the plantation society before, during, and after the Civil War. Through three distinct narrative voices, the novel depicts the rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen, who builds his legacy from the ground up in an effort to enter the ranks of the Southern aristocracy. We will use the Vintage Classics edition of the text.
