[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another poster here that could not get through Sound and Fury when I was younger and gave up. Maybe I should give it another go. What can you compare it to? What did you love about it?[/quote] Honestly, I think it is almost incomparable. There was nothing like it until Faulkner wrote it. The family story is so tragic. The 3 different parts are written from such entirely different perspectives, yet they inform each other so much. Writing from the perspective of a mentally disabled boy, in a way that at first is so incomprehensible but then is so important and so moving. The moving back and forward in time. The sense of place. The social commentary that underlies it all. Truly, truly great. But it is hard to appreciate without a guide. I think it's kind of like the Beatles, lol. Not everyone likes them, but no lover of music can deny their brilliance or their impact.[/quote]
