The Sound and the Fury

I wasn't sure I was going to last for the duration of this work. It starts off from the viewpoint of a handicapped man; most of his insights are based on sensation. I wasn't sure I wanted to stick with that for 300 some odd pages. But three other perspectives are also offered all written in different styles. This is my first Faulkner besides a short story we read of his in my American lit course at BYU. It seems that those who are labeled postmodernist aren't really doing anything new when you encounter these types of works.
