Born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south. He grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, and left high school at fifteen to work in his grandfather's bank. Rejected by the US military in 1915, he joined the Canadian flyers with the RAF, but was still in training when the war ended. Returning home, he studied at the University of Mississippi and visited Europe briefly in 1925. His first poem was published in The New Republic in 1919. His first book of verse and early novels followed, but his major work began with the publication of The Sound and the Fury in 1929. As I Lay Dying (1930), Sanctuary (1931), Light in August (1932), Absalom, Absalom! (1936) and The Wild Palms (1939) are the key works of his great creative period leading up to Intruder in the Dust (1948). During the 1930s, he worked in Hollywood on film scripts, notably The Blue Lamp, co-written with Raymond Chandler. William Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and the Pulitzer Prize for The Reivers just before his death in July1962.
Ever since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?' (20040923)

评分近年来很少听到文学界像谈起一门阔亲戚那样大谈福克纳了,当“后现代”像开了闸的洪水一样疯狂涌来时,这位一生大部分时光都在美国南方乡下度过的作家就显得有些落伍和寒碜了,虽然曾几何时,他也是现代主义的顶尖人物,他对意识流手法的发展甚至超过了那位被肺病折磨了一...
评分怜悯与愤怒 —福克纳小说中的几个词 【钟表】 1910年6月2日是昆丁·康普生自杀的日子。这一天的早晨7点到8点之间,昆丁正式登场了。他从一个白痴的呓语里走了出来,像一个哲学家一样开口说话了。他在说时间,说他爷爷留下的那块表,当初他的父亲给他这块表的时候说:“这只...
评分福克纳的《喧哗与骚动》用来考验耐心和智力倒是不错。尤其第一章——“1928年4月7日”,迷宫似的文体,有点让人找不着北。如果没有①②③的提示,可能影响理解,当然无视①②③也行,不过这样一来,就得多花时间,比如回过头,带着疑问寻找不知断裂在何处的某个情节的“线头”...
评分It is obvious that William Faulkner has a gloomy recollection of the past world, but he had no ideas about how to deal with all of these problems. Then we find chaos in this novel. Benjy, as the first major character we'd met, is an idiot. I guess, maybe on...
The Sound and the Fury. Shakespeare gave it birth and Faulkner gave it life. We philosophers and fools try to give it meaning, but end up giving nothing. Nothing but the sound and the fury.
评分Complicated in an unnecessary way. Canonical or not, I do not like stories told in this manner. Don't like any of the characters.
评分Benjy's and Quentin's part is the most excellent ones. Caddie,as the protagonist,never sounds her voice on her own . She was heard and seen through other characters' myriad actions and speeches which is pretty striking and unique.Aha ! Eventually get it done. It happened to be a rainy day like that in the part Faulkner spoke himself.
