I would agree with
Professor Mish. I think the similarities are pretty
striking.
Though Faulkner is not a
comfortable fit for HB, _Light In August_ and As I Lay Dying_
both share some of the same concerns with the genre in terms
of subject matter and theme. Faulknetr seems to me to be a
borderline case.
