A review by jenna0010
The Wild Palms by William Faulkner

3.0

While Faulkner's prose heaves with lush, violent beauty, I found this narrative fragile, fumbling, and not quite adhering at the seams. There was something not as sturdy at work here, which is perhaps telling of all its concerns with containment and control, rivers bursting, female flesh and its leakiness, with criminality, corruption, rotting structures, aborted futures.
