Not a fani just didn't like it as much as absalom i think because of the structural experimentation i gotta say it was more frustrating than enjoyable in retrospect
The Sound and the Fury (1929)
Others: Negative 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.
