In this fourth episode proper of Summer Reading with the Diehls Season 1, Adam Diehl and his wife Whitney discuss the second dynamic duo of William Faulkner’s 1936 novel Absalom, Absalom!: Quentin Compson and Shreve McCannon. Are these two narrators merely LARPing the Civil War through Henry Sutpen and Charles Bon (respectively)? Or are they the True Detective(s) that will solve the mysteries of the Sutpen family?
This episode also considers Shreve’s line of questioning to Quentin: “Tell me about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all” (Faulkner 142).
