After reading the Faulkner stuff earlier, I had to pull The Sound and the Fury off the shelf one more time, mainly to see if I could figure out the second section a bit better. (First section I've read too much-it was too fun to ignore. The third is pointless; I'd just put it down and grab The Hamlet instead. The fourth section tells me that Faulkner had too much power in the writer-editor relationship. It's like having a Disney ending tacked onto Citizen Kane.)
