Historical novel set around ENGLAND (Birmingham)
The Sound and the Fury
Location(s): Mississippi
Genre(s): Fiction, Historical
Era(s): Turn of 20th Century
Ever since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness – ‘only an idiot has no grief: only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?’
