After a while, there’s no need to refer to the key code. This is especially helpful as Benjy’s thoughts are often jumbled, and cut through timelines sometimes mid-sentence, with a chronology that spans decades. To aid the reader, The Folio Society’s edition separates the text into different colours of ink and comes with a specially-designed key code, so that the reader is able to immediately discern which event the narrative has turned to. The reader has to work hard, especially in the first part, to follow a non-linear text told from the point of view of Benjy, a young man with learning difficulties. The Sound and the Fury is a book with a difficult narrative thread. Not only that, but this particular title has been presented in an innovative new way – and as the author originally intended. The Folio Society has released William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury as part of its May 2016 collection.Īttractively bound in blocked cloth and contained within a protective card case, The Folio Society’s presentation of the book is beautiful, with an easy-on-the-eye font on high-quality paper.
