The Sound and the Fury is a novel by the American author William Faulkner. It employs a number of narrative styles, including stream of consciousness. Published in 1929, the novel was Faulkner's fourth and is now considered to be one of the greatest novels in American literature. The book primarily focuses on the Compson family and their lives in Mississippi during the early 20th century, touching on themes of time, race, and the decline of the Southern aristocracy.
