OMG! Faulkner's "Shall Not Perish"
I just read this short story this morning from the "Collected Stories" (recently available as an ebook)- http://www.amazon.com/Collected-Stor...660818&sr=8-12

I am totally blown away with his skill! I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I've never read this story til now. It's definitely in my top 10 stories now!
Incredible skill in narration, story, emotion, poetic phrasing and human nature.

My one nit is the title. I thought it bad at first, but rethinking it, I can see how it applies to the story as a whole in multiple ways.

WOW!
