Faulkner & Rumi

by mahvash s (not verified) on Tue May 13, 2008 08:30 AM PDT

A very well done video! In my opinion, it is in the same vein of William Faulkner's book "As I Lay Dying" which one story is told by different characters and each time, the reader would see a different angel of the story.

Also, reminds me of Rumi's poem who says: "They become my friends by their own concepts of me not what I really am." (har kasi az zann-e khod shod yaar-e man/ az daroun-e man najost asraar-e man.) In this story, each character sees the sound of slap according to their own concepts.

I enjoyed watching it.
