tonyalit 's review for:
The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner
After all this time, I finally got to one of Faulkner’s books. I thrive returning to the classics which seem to be wordy to many, but find that they grasp the beauty and elegance of the language, which renews my own love and appreciation for our literature. It inspires me to become a better writer. This story is one of the most lyrical pieces of prose.
I'm still so captivated by his introduction of Benjy by way of Benjy himself to the way we finally get to see him for ourselves later. Blew me away... and it was all through the power of words.
It took several (almost the first 60 for me) pages to get through Faulkner’s renowned symbolism and stream of consciousness to finally understand all that was happening. This piece had all of the unmentionable drama one could have only imagined back then to see in print – at least all in one place, save for it all to happen with one family.
