The Sound and the Fury

This book is interesting. Faulkner, yet again, explores the theme of southern aristocratic values and the south's inabilty to forget the past. The South entered a changed reality after the war. Faulkner masterfully uses stream of consciousness to reveal the thoughts of four individuals who were dealing with that change. It's amazing how Faulkner exposes a situation through so much complexity. The difficulty of the book may keep readers away but it is truly a great book and an accomplishment once it's completed.
