michael5000 's review for:
The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner
Think a sequel to "Gone With the Wind" written by James Joyce. Not especially fun to read the first time out, but despite my reluctance to like Faulkner (why? dunno.) I can't deny that this is a masterful piece of authorship. It gets both easier and more compelling as you go, and the back half of the book clarifies a lot of the mysteries from the front half. Of the three brothers who narrate the book, the contemptible Jason is paradoxically the most sympathetic; he's a real jerk, but he's been dealt a raw hand.
I'll want to dive into this one again, now that I know what the hell is going on.
2020 Update: As expected, it goes a lot smoother when you know the lay of the land going in. Pretty amazing stuff.
