In many ways this was an experimental novel, using several differing narrative styles. Divided into four parts, the author relates the same episodes from four different viewpoints, using a different style for each. The story concerns various members of a Southern family, once wealthy landowners but now struggling to maintain their reputation.

Review of "The Sound and the Fury (Everyman's Library Classics)" on 'Goodreads'

I try not to shy away from books because they're "hard," but I've tried to read this one about four different times, starting in high school, and have just been unable to both comprehend and enjoy.
