Gertrude Stein! I would still go The Sound and the Fury over As I Lay Dying. My Faulkner class generated a more interesting and enthusiastic conversation about the former over the latter (which many of us had already read). Also, I wouldn't shy away from assigning the whole book- the syllabus contained six books and a handful of short stories for a semester (across both Conrad and Faulkner) and this was a 300 level undergrad course. Edward Albee would be a fun playwright to cover under the "emotional difficulty" level. His plays are accessible but very, very vicious and can be uncomfortable to experience. Also, imagine having a class about the extended metaphor of goat loving.
