The previous owner of this book annotated it in the margins, which is distracting at the best of times - I always end up trying to work out what their notes are referring to. In this instance it is compounded by the notes being in both English and French.
God, what a wonderful, dark, desperate book. Faulkner was really mining some unsavory parts of his imagination when he wrote that one.
In the movie adaptation, they cast Yves Montand as the Popeye character. Ridiculous.
The movie's horrible, by the way. Don't bother. They mashed Sanctuary and Requiem for a Nun together and it's a mess.
