I used to believe that love was a light switch. Something flicks on. You get an overwhelming sensation. It hits you like a bag of bricks. Or a strong arrow. When you know‚ you know. Right? Not so much. After 28 years‚ I don’t see love that way anymore. I’ve placed Cupid right next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Love is a series of choices.

Light in August‚ by William Faulkner‚ is a story of racial conflict in a Southern United States town. Faulkner’s work is very unique because its structure presents only gradual revelations of information and consists of three different but interconnected plot threads.
