The Sound and the Fury - Paperback

Faulkner, William: - William Faulkner (1897-1962) was a Nobel Prize-winning American author renowned for his experimental narrative style, which incorporated stream of consciousness, nonlinear timelines, and shifting perspectives. Born in Mississippi, he rooted much of his fiction in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, exploring the complexities of the American South, including its history, trauma, race, and identity. Influenced by modernists like James Joyce and deeply shaped by Southern heritage, Faulkner authored masterpieces such as The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Absalom, Absalom!. He also worked as a Hollywood screenwriter and was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes. Despite global acclaim, he remained intensely private, spending most of his life in Oxford, Mississippi, where his home, Rowan Oak, is now a museum.
