    John Lutz

    Perhaps William Faulkner’s greatest masterpiece, The Sound and the Fury, chronicles the traumatic experiences of the Compson family through four distinct perspectives. Interweaving pivotal moments in Southern history and culture, Faulkner depicts the stagnation and decline of the Compsons to offer a challenging and insightful critique of race and white privilege. We will use the Vintage Classics edition of the text.
