William Faulkner wrote modernist fiction centred on the American South, especially the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, where families, race, class and memory recur across different novels. The Sound and the Fury tells the decline of the Compson family through several sharply different perspectives, including Benjy's fragmented perception and Quentin's obsessive recollections. As I Lay Dying follows the Bundren family transporting Addie Bundren's body for burial, with short chapters switching among family members and other voices. Absalom, Absalom! reconstructs the rise and collapse of Thomas Sutpen through competing accounts that never settle into one definitive version. Faulkner's prose can be dense, nonlinear and demanding, with chronology and point of view often part of the puzzle. His work fits American modernism, Southern gothic and family saga. Read more Less
