Book Reviews of The Sound and the Fury: The Corrected Text
Book Review: Once again, a reminder I should read more Faulkner
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only read three books so far by Faulkner: As I Lay Dying, A Light in August, and now The Sound and the Fury. I've loved all three of them, and plan to eventually read all of his works.
One thing that helped me with The Sound the the Fury was knowing going into it that the first section was told from the perspective of Benjy, the mentally challenged brother. The Benjy part skips all over the place, from his childhood up to current time; with no breaks in between. It can be confusing until you start to catch on.
By the end of the book, everthing makes sense and fits together perfectly. If I encountered something that didn't quite make sense (such as Benjy being called Maury), it is explained later in the book. I think my favorite section was the part told from Jason's point of view; he's not a very likeable character yet you feel sorry for him. There's also a fair amount of subtle humor in the Jason section, which was entertaining.
All in all, this was an excellent book. I can't wait to read more by Faulkner, who is begining to rank right up there with my other favorite authors.
