The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (1929)

Tonight, we delve into the twilight shadows of an old Southern family, echoing with the whispers of time and memory in William Faulkners The Sound and the Fury. We traverse the Compson siblings tangled lives, each stroke of Faulkner’s pen revealing deep currents of emotion, from Benjys fragmented innocence to Quentins haunted reflections on purity and honor. Through the quiet dissolution of norms and the silent screams of a changing societal landscape, we feel the gentle tug of Caddys lost presence and Jasons simmering discontent. Let us linger in their world, unraveling the poignant complexities of human nature as sleep envelops us. This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
