William Faulkner, The Sound And The Fury

William Cuthbert Faulkner was a Nobel Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer. One of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, his reputation is based mostly on his novels, novellas, and short stories. He was also a published poet and an occasional screenwriter.

The majority of his works are set in his native state of Mississippi. Though his work was published as early as 1919, and largely during the 1920s and 1930s, Faulkner was relatively unknown until receiving the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel." Faulkner has often been cited as one of the most important writers in the history of American literature. Faulkner was influenced by European modernism, and employed stream of consciousness in several of his novels.


“لم أكن أبكي، ولكنني عجزت عن التوقف، لم اكن أبكي ولكن الارض لم تكن ثابتة، وعندها جعلت أبكي، وظلت الأرض تنحدر ...====================هو لم يطرد من الولايات المتحدة الامريكية، بل ما جرده من الوطن الا لسانه؟ فلم يكن طرده نتيجه للخيانة بل لكثرة ما تشدق بشأنها، حارقاً وراءه كل جسر كلاماً قبل أن يبلغ مكاناً يبني فيه جسره التالي.====================طفلةٌ لها عينان كعيني دبٍ دميةوظفيرتان كالجلد المصقول، كان وججها أشبه بكوب من الحليب فيه قطرتان من القهوة في الفراغ الدافئ العذب.====================ضرب من انعدام النفس تتصف به البيوت المقفرة.”
