《押沙龙，押沙龙！》是福克纳最重要，也是最复杂、深奥，最具史诗风格的一部作品。它讲述的是美国南方一个家庭从1860年到1910年左右所经历的激烈的分崩离析的故事，深刻地表现了人与人、人与自己内心的种种冲突，触及与人类境遇有关的诸多带普遍性的问题。小说叙述方式独特；书中各人物从不同的角度，带着不同的主观感情"解释"过去，但共同体现出整部作品的悲剧格调。 本书书名源自《圣经》典故，书中描述的亲子之间的爱与恨、兄妹之间的暧昧感情等，具有《圣经》故事的色彩。(Absalom, Absalom! is the most important, complex and abstruse work of Faulkner with most epic style. It tells a story about the fierce disintegration that a family of Southern America experienced from 1860 to around 1910, vividly shows all kinds of conflicts between man and man and between people and their inner worlds and involves many widespread problems related to the human condition. The novel adopts a unique narrative style; the characters in the book "Explain" their past with different subjective feelings from different perspectives. However, all these reflect the tragic style of the whole work. The name of the book comes from an allusion of the Bible. The love and hate between the parents and children and the ambiguous feelings between brother and sister described in the book have the features of stories in the Bible.)
