Παρουσίαση
It is still extraordinary to think that Faulkner began writing "The Sound and the Fury" in the belief he might not be published again. He had just turned thirty and his third novel, on which he pinned elaborate hopes, had been rejected by his publisher with a recommendation that he did not offer it elsewhere. "I had", he said, "stopped thinking of myself in publishing terms". [...]The rejection of the book with which he expected to make his critical and commercial reputation had the effect of a purification. [...]
Published on 7 October 1929, "The Sound and the Fury" sold less than 3,000 copies over the next seventeen years. By 1945 almost all of its author's work was out of print. Commercially, his publishers had been right.
So why has the novel taken its grip on the dark complexities of our psyche?
In "The Sound and the Fury", Faulkner continued the process begun in the abandoned manuscript, a narrative of the decay and disintegration of his Mississippi family. The novel is humid and difficult, heavy with the kind of sad dampness found in Joyce. [...] (From the publisher)
«"The Sound and the Fury" is a brilliant and lyrical virtuoso narrative in which Faulkner chronicles the decline of the American South through the experiences of Benjy Compson, whose struggle to articulate his vision of life is one of the most moving episodes in modern fiction»
