The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (1929)

The novel chronicles the decline of the Compson family, a once-wealthy Southern family, over the course of four decades.

It is set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County and is narrated in four different sections by three different Compson brothers.

The first section is narrated by Benjy, a 33-year-old man with a mental disability who struggles to express himself.

The second section is narrated by Quentin, Benjy's brother, who is consumed with guilt and is unable to cope with the world around him.

The third section is narrated by Jason, their pragmatic and selfish brother who is desperate to get his hands on the family's dwindling fortune.

The fourth section is narrated by a third-person omniscient narrator and focuses on the family's African-American servant, Dilsey.

Throughout the novel, the Compson family is haunted by the death of their daughter, Caddy, who is remembered in the present as an idealized figure of innocence.
