William Faulkner (1897 – 1962) was an American writer known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi. A Nobel Prize laureate, Faulkner is considered the greatest writer of Southern literature.
The Sound and the Fury (originally published in 1929) employs several narrative styles, including stream-of- consciousness. It was Faulkner's fourth novel.
