In case you didn’t, I will tell you (and hope that other readers will also see it) that <i>The Sound And The Fury</i>, one of the many novels written by the Nobel-prize-winning American author William Faulkner, is set in fictional Yoknapatawpha County in not-so-fictional Mississippi, a state in the southern part of the United States. I mention this because the online article I happened upon when I looked up Yoknapatawpha County myself just now, mentioned Faulkner and mentioned many of his novels, but made no mention whatsoever of <i>The Sound And The Fury</i>, arguably his most famous work. As a certain character created by Lewis Carroll once said, “curiouser and curiouser.”rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-15837976651584891222021-06-18T13:19:52.612-04:002021-06-18T13:19:52.612-04:00No, but I've just looked it up.
