Description

'There was another yellow butterfly, like one of the sunflecks had come loose'

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD HUGHES

Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives,The Sound and the Furyexplores 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?'

Born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south. He grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, and left high school at fifteen to work in his grandfather's bank.

Rejected by the US military in 1915, he joined the Canadian flyers with the RAF, but was still in training when the war ended. Returning home, he studied at the University of Mississippi and visited Europe briefly in 1925.

His first poem was published inThe New Republicin 1919. His first book of verse and early novels followed, but his major work began with the publication ofThe Sound and the Furyin 1929.As I Lay Dying(1930),Sanctuary(1931),Light in August(1932),Absalom, Absalom!(1936) andThe Wild Palms(1939) are the key works of his great creative period leading up toIntruder in the Dust(1948). During the 1930s, he worked in Hollywood on film scripts, notablyThe Blue Lamp, co-written with Raymond Chandler.

William Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and the Pulitzer Prize forThe Reiversjust before his death in July 1962.
