The Sound and the Fury - Paperback

by William Faulkner (Author)

In the early twentieth century, the Deep South was a landscape of profound transformation and tumultuous change, marked by societal decay, loss, and an enduring search for meaning. William Faulkner's haunting modernist masterpiece The Sound and the Fury, set in Mississippi, portrays the decline of the once-aristocratic Compson family. The novel features the divergent fragmented lives of the Compson siblings--the intellectual disability of Benjy, the brooding rage of Quentin, and the cynical practicality of Jason--as well as the unwavering loyalty of the family servant, Dilsey.
