The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction. It tells of the advent and the rise of the Snopes family in Frenchman's Bend, a small town built on the ruins of a once-stately plantation.

Wrong Narator
Reviewed: 10-21-21
The book is excellent. The narrator is completely wrong. I don’t think a southern accent is necessary, but this guy is some sort of northerner or Midwesterner. It simply doesn’t work, takes something away from the whole experience. Yeah
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
