The Sound and the Fury

How can a story be told when memory itself is shattered?



First published in 1929, The Sound and the Fury is William Faulkner's most influential and challenging novel—a groundbreaking work that redefined modern fiction. The story traces the tragic decline of the Compson family in the American South, revealed through multiple narrators whose fractured perspectives mirror emotional collapse and lost meaning.



Through stream-of-consciousness narration and shifting timelines, Faulkner explores obsession, guilt, love, and decay. Each section offers a new lens on the same events, forcing readers to piece together truth from memory, emotion, and silence.



This novel stands as a landmark of literary modernism, capturing the disintegration of family, identity, and Southern tradition with unmatched intensity.
