Susan Orlean on 'The Sound and the Fury'
For as long as she can remember, Susan Orlean has had a favorite book, "The Sound and the
\nFury," by William Faulkner. A southern gothic novel set over a period of three decades, the book explores the lives of the members of one family, the Compsons. Told from multiple perspectives and set in several time periods, it\u2019s not a chronological or easy read.
