About “The Sound and the Fury”
A 1929 novel by William Faulkner, described as experimental for its use of several differing narrative styles. Divided into four parts, it relates the same episodes from four different viewpoints, each in a different style, concerning members of a Southern family who were once wealthy landowners but are now struggling to maintain their reputation.
Praise for “The Sound and the Fury”
“I am in awe of Faulkner’s Benjy, James’s Maisie, Flaubert’s Emma, Melville’s Pip, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein—each of us can extend the list.... I am interested in what prompts and makes possible this process of entering what one is estranged from.”
“No man ever put more of his heart and soul into the written word than did William Faulkner. If you want to know all you can about that heart and soul, the fiction where he put it is still right there.”
