William Faulkner: The sound and the fury (1987, Norton)
417 pages
English language
Published Aug. 8, 1987 by Norton.
In many ways this was an experimental novel, using several differing narrative styles. Divided into four parts, the author relates the same episodes from four different viewpoints, using a different style for each. The story concerns various members of a Southern family, once wealthy landowners but now struggling to maintain their reputation.

If this was the first Faulkner book I read, it would be the last. Its like too many classic books - extraordinary but difficult.
