William Faulkner's Wild Palms is a complex novel interweaving two narratives: one of a couple fleeing society for love, and another of a man facing execution. Through parallel stories, Faulkner explores themes of freedom, passion, and the consequences of choosing love over security. The novel becomes a meditation on what we're willing to sacrifice for what we desire, and whether freedom is worth the price we pay for it.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Faulkner understood that the most interesting questions don't have easy answers. This novel reminds us that freedom and security are often in conflict, and that the choices we make define who we are.
