Ever since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts.

　　《喧哗与骚动》是福克纳第一部成熟的作品，也是作家花费心血最多、本人最喜欢的小说。小说进述的是南方没落地主康普生一家的家族悲剧。老康普生手游好闲、嗜酒贪杯，其妻自私冷酷、怨天尤人。长子昆丁绝望地抱住南方所谓的旧传统不放，因妹妹凯蒂风流成性、有辱南方淑女身份而恨疚交加，竟至溺水自杀。次子杰生冷酷贪婪，三子班吉则是个白痴，三十三岁时只有三岁小儿的智能。全通过这三下儿子的内心独白，围绕凯蒂的堕落展开，最后则由黑人女佣迪尔西对前三部分的“有限视角”做一补充，归结全书。小说大量运用多视角叙述方法及意识流法手法，是意识流小说乃至整个现代派小说的经典名著。
