The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

Title: The Sound and the Fury

Author: William Faulkner

Review: Easily one of his best works, Faulkner's tale of a southern family dynasty's decline contributed to his winning of the Nobel Prize in 1949. The stream-of-consciousness format and unreliable narrators make this a challenging read, but completely worth it. It takes you through each family member's personal tragedy and makes a larger comment on the decline of the Old South's long upheld conservatism.
