Assalonne, Assalonne! by William Faulkner
A baroque, tragic chronicle of an ambitious outsider who builds a plantation dynasty in the antebellum South and whose obsessive design—rooted in pride, secrecy and racial violence—ultimately destroys his family and reputation; the story is pieced together by multiple, unreliable narrators whose competing recollections and moral blindness expose the region’s tangled legacy of slavery, honor, and the irretrievability of the past.
