The Sound and the Fury

>> No.13418285

It's a book alright.

>> No.13418293

Why every Faulkner story is about a dysfunctional hillbilly redneck family.

>> No.13418318

>>13418293
Because thats what Faulkner knew. Dysfunctional southern hicks masquerading as “nobles” was his entire childhood.

I agree with this, though I'd be tempted to find room for his short stories in there too. Maybe as 3.a.

Is this a good place to start with Faulkner?

>> No.13418715

>>13418708
No. As I Lay Dying is probably the best place to start. Then some of his short fiction, then A Light in August, then Sound and Fury, then Absalom, Absalom! From there go where you will.

anyone here owns this "oprah's box"? i don't care for boxes or for oprah or for whatever but in my country faulkner's works are rare and expensive, this is the same price as 2 separate books of his. It contains TSaTF, AILD and LiA
