Easily one of the most amazing books I've ever read, The Sound and the Fury has the quality of streaming undifferentiated consciousness but is so well constructed that when you read the last sentence it spirals back to the first, the whole ascending in a kind of literary levitation seen only the most perfectly made pieces of art. It's the ultimate psychological saga, a tale of the Compson family's pathology and love and incest and general tragedy, revealing the feelings of three brothers for their sister Caddy. This Vintage International edition corrects numerous errors printed in previous publications, and restores Faulkner's supposed intentions.

First published in 1929, Faulkner created his "heart's darling," the beautiful and tragic Caddy Compson, whose story Faulkner told through separate monologues by her three brothers--the idiot Benjy, the neurotic suicidal Quentin and the monstrous Jason.
