Readers who love challenging modernist classics and Southern Gothic fiction

First published in 1929, William Faulkner's masterpiece charts the decline of the Compson family, once proud members of the Mississippi gentry, as they are worn down by loss, betrayal and the weight of their own past.

The story is told in four sections, each from a different point of view, three of them through the minds of the Compson brothers. Using bold stream-of-consciousness writing and shifting timelines, Faulkner asks the reader to piece the family's story together from fragments of memory. It is a demanding and deeply rewarding classic of American literature that explores time, memory, identity and a vanishing Southern world.
