There was another yellow butterfly, like one of the sunflecks had come loose. This title comes with an introduction by Richard Huges. 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? |

The death and burial of Addie Bundren is told by members of her family, as they cart the coffin to Jefferson, Mississippi, to bury her among her people. And as the intense desires, fears and rivalries of the family are revealed in the vernacular of the Deep South, Faulkner presents a portrait of extraordinary power — as epic as the Old Testament, as American as Huckleberry Finn. |
