Gothic & Haunted Houses

The Sound and the Fury

by William Faulkner

Faulkner chronicles the disintegration of the aristocratic Compson family through fragmented, stream-of-consciousness narratives told by three brothers and their black servant. From Benjy's nonlinear sensory impressions to Quentin's obsessive consciousness to Jason's bitter cynicism, each perspective reveals a family haunted by loss, obsession, and the weight of Southern history. A modernist masterpiece of American literature that revolutionized narrative form.
