The Sound and the Fury - Unabridged
By William Faulkner & Kevin TheisPublisher Description
An early masterpiece by legendary novelist William Faulkner, "The Sound and the Fury" helped put Faulkner on the literary map. An audacious novel filled with nonlinear storytelling, time jumps, digressions and multiple viewpoints from a number of different narrators, it is the story of the fall of a Southern aristocratic family - the Compson's - told through the eyes of the three Compson sons: Benjy, Quentin and Jason.
Often employing a stream of consciousness style, Faulkner focuses the story primarily on three days in April of 1928 (Easter weekend) as his narrators relate the same series of events from different perspectives. A challenging, modernist novel, it has been hailed for almost a hundred years as one of the finest books to come out of the American South and was the launching point of William Faulkner's unparalleled career. Faulkner would go on to win two Pulitzer Prizes for Literature and the Nobel Prize for Fiction in 1949.
"The Sound and the Fury" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
