One thread for both Faulkner titles that were published in 1929. I know a few of you have read The Sound and the Fury already, but has anyone read Sartoris?
I'm half way through reading The Sound and the Fury and am in thrall - it's my first time reading anything by Faulkner and it's a thrilling experience.
However, it's also pretty hard work so far, so I would like to refer y'all to this very useful website, without which I would probably be struggling. As it is, I'm having a ball!
PLEASE READ IT, so that we can get a discussion going!
I'll be back in a day or two and will hopefully set the ball rolling...

One of my favorite books ever! Quentin's section is my favorite. I'm ready for a discussion whenever.

The Sound and the Fury is undoubtedly one of the 20th c. American masterpieces!

I'm trespassing here, because I haven't embraced this project or joined the group, but of course I've read Sartoris!! Are you reading it soon? One of my reading goals (for someday) is to re-read it back to back with the longer version published in 1973 (Flags in the Dust). Although I have read both, it was years between. Faulkner was not happy about the cuts in the original publication, although he did consent to them out of necessity. He immersed himself in writing S & F, which he didn't expect anyone would want to read. He thought Flags in the Dust was going to make his reputation.
