Description
The Sound and the Fury Book Description: In The Sound and the Fury, which has become one of the classics of the twentieth century and one of the peaks of Faulkner's literature, the disintegration of the Compson family living in the south of the USA is followed with different consciousnesses: The mentally disabled son Benjy's older brother Quentin, who is tormented by feelings of guilt and honor. What happened in the family is gradually revealed through the narrations of Jason, the tough, logical and cunning other brother. The Voice and the Fury is a novel that demonstrates Faulkner's mastery in presenting what is experienced, what is thought, and the emotions that are spread or compressed within an entire atmosphere, with his unique intense language and fiction. In The Sound and the Fury, the authenticity of the characters and the universal tragedy of the events are, in Faulkner's words, as sharp as a glass shard and as loud as a moment of anger. I judge a novel I write according to the one that causes me the most pain and sorrow among the ones I have written before, just like a mother loves her child who is a thief or a murderer more than her child who is a priest. William Faulkner (explaining why his favorite novel is The Sound and the Fury) No one has put so much of his heart and soul into writing than Faulkner. Eudora Welty (From the Promotional Bulletin)
