“A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune”― William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury"The Sound and the Fury" is a novel written by William Faulkner, first published in 1929. The novel is set in the fictional town of Jefferson, Mississippi and follows the lives of the Compson family, particularly the decline of the family's patriarch, Jason Compson III, and the disintegration of his family.The novel is divided into four sections, each told from the perspective of a different character. The first section is narrated by Benjy, the mentally disabled son of the Compson family. The second section is narrated by Quentin, the eldest son of the family, who is tormented by memories of his sister Caddy's promiscuity. The third section is narrated by Jason, the youngest son, who is bitter and angry towards his family and the world. The final section is narrated by Dilsey, the Compsons' African American maid, who provides a different perspective on the events of the novel.Through the use of stream-of-consciousness narration and non-linear storytelling, Faulkner explores themes of time, memory, and the disintegration of traditional Southern values. The novel is noted for its experimental style and challenging structure, which can make it difficult to follow at times. However, it is widely regarded as a masterpiece of modernist literature and one of Faulkner's most significant works.• Explore the novel: UK: amzn.to/3FKXQyWUS: amzn.to/3z9PUDC ... See MoreSee Less
