![]() Dalloway, Faulkner's Sound and the Fury is told differently from most books. I give props to Faulkner for bring that style form Europe and using it with a Southern twist. This style was made famous with Joyce and Woolf. ![]() Most of it is told in the stream-of-consciousness. STYLE: The books style is the main reason I wanted to read this book. ![]() Also, one of the character, Benjy, is mentally disabled and I'll bring that back up shortly. I refuse to call these character idiots, but you don't feel conformable with the characters if you had to spend a week with them. ![]() Part of the quote says "Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury" and to me that really fits with the book itself. Unlike me, I'd suggest looking up the quote before you read the book. TITLE: First off I never got the title of this book until yesterday when I decided to read the full quote form Macbeth to which Faulkner took the title. I apologize but this review might be all over the place, but read the book and you understand. Not only is this book perfect for me to dissect into various sections, this book oddly helps me understand my writing better. Yes, this book is confusing and the plot jumps around, but I really loved this book. ![]() Take the writing style of Jame Joyce's Ulysses, mix in the dialogue of Mark Twain, and add a dash of Virginia Woolf: and that is the best way I can explain this book in a sentence. This is my first time reading him, but I really like his work. William Faulkner is an author people love or hate. ![]()
