Had a good bit of scotch last night but just reread and can confirm that the Prince of Darkness/deal with the devil portion at the end of ‘Eula,’ which can be read standalone, is absolutely masterful writing.

Part 1 is the Lorax if the trufula trees were the economic inefficiencies of the post-reconstruction south. Then Part 2 is Lolita, but the narrator loses and the onceler reenters and marries Lolita and then convinces the devil to give him paradise BECAUSE THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE HIS SOCIETY IS BASED ON GIVES HIM LESS RIGHT THAN THE PURE CAPITALIST TO PARADISE ITSELF. Faulkner might be the goat.
