Schall Und Wahn by William Faulkner
A modernist portrait of a Southern family's decline told through four fragmented, overlapping perspectives: the nonlinear sensory impressions of a cognitively disabled man, an obsessive university student's disintegrating grip on time and honor, a bitter brother's merciless cruelty and selfishness, and the steady, compassionate viewpoint of the family's Black housekeeper. The novel uses stream-of-consciousness and temporal disruption to explore memory, loss, race, and the collapse of old social orders in the American South.
