  • I read this book a very long time ago and loved it. In my opinion it is one of Steinbeck's best novels and classified a modern classic for a very good reason. This is my copy and I plan to read it again (as soon as my huge list of to-be-read books gets smaller).

  • Wow, this book was so emotionally charged from the start that I didn't think I could read it without a vacation. I'll read it someday.

  • In this case, the reward exceeds the challenge of the read, and the challenge is formidable. Perhaps the most difficult book I have ever read, but also one of the best.

The Sound and the Fury, William Faulkner's fourth novel, is his first attempt at a wholly self-conscious style. Faulkner's willingness to experiment affords his readers no stable perspective from which to comprehend the decline of the Compson family.

The title, William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, part of Chelsea House Publishers' Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on William Faulkner, a chronology of the author's life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.
