Title: Signifying Nothing
Product review: By now, it will come as no surprise to anyone who follows my reviews that I am not a fan of Faulkner. But I've kept plugging along with him, because I wanted to read The Sound and the Fury, long considered one of his masterpieces. Now that I'm finished with it, I'm inclined to think the Shakespeare passage from which it gets its title sums it up nicely: "sound and fury, signifying nothing."I thoroughly enjoyed the autistic Benjy's segment once I got the narrators figured out. But its promise just never paid off. Here we have another disjointed unredemptive tale that's more work to figure out than its sum total is worth. I respect that some people hail Faulkner as a master, but he's decidedly not my cuppa.
