The Sound and the Fury

William Faulkner, Richard Hughes Press Reviews

One of the most important works of American literature this century -- Observer

Faulkner has inexhaustible invention, powerful imagination, and he writes like an angel -- Arnold Bennett

For range of effect, philosophical weight, originality of style, variety of characterisation, humour and tragic intensity [Faulkner's works] are without equal in our time and country -- Robert Penn Warren

Its unlike anything else in literature... The experience of reading it seemed closer to the experience of life than anything provided by a neatly contrived story line... After the war I read all I could of William Faulkner, and he continued to present some unique and, it seemed to me, valid way of looking at life -- Nicholas Mosley - Guardian

Not only was the book a kind of beginning for me, but that it endured still, it moved me deeply and remains the damndest book I ever read -- Niall Williams - Sunday Times
