The Sound and the Fury
Featured Listen
Absalom, Absalom! is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Southern Gothic literature. Faulkner's innovative narrative technique, which employs multiple narrators and non-linear storytelling, challenges readers to piece together the complex tale. This epic novel contributed to Faulkner being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.
