'There was another yellow butterfly, like one of the sunflecks had come
loose.' This title comes with an introduction by Richard Huges. 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?'
