The complete text, published for the first time in 1973, of Faulkner’s third novel, written when he was twenty-nine, which appeared, with his reluctant consent, in a much cut version in 1929 as Sartoris.

I own the actual book. It is, in my opinion, the first book you should read of his for it gives a good layout of his other novels. It is also I believe to be the easiest to read. Definitely my favorite of his. It is about the ending of the family name Sartoris. Beautifully written and filled with great characters. I also recommend you read Sanctuary and As I Lay Dying. BTW it is not his first novel and the abridged version is simply called Sartoris...
