First published in 1929, William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury stands as a landmark of Modernist literature. Renowned for its daring narrative style, the novel immerses readers in the inner worlds of the Compson family through Faulkner’s masterful use of stream-of-consciousness. Each section unfolds from the unique perspective of a different sibling—Benjy, Quentin, and Jason—culminating in a final part told by an omniscient narrator. At the heart of their fractured memories and voices is Caddy, the sister whose presence haunts the novel, shaping the destinies of her brothers even in her absence. Faulkner’s bold experimentation with structure and voice, inspired by literary giants such as Henry James and James Joyce, challenges and rewards the reader in equal measure. Once its complexities are unraveled, The Sound and the Fury reveals a story of profound emotional power.
