This postbellum Greek tragedy is the perfect introduction to Faulkner's
elaborate descriptive syntax.
Quentin Compson and Shreve, his Harvard roommate, are obsessed with the tragic
rise and fall of Thomas Sutpen. As a poor white boy, Sutpen was turned away from
a plantation owner's mansion by a black butler. From then on, he was determined
to force his way into the upper echelons of Southern society. His relentless
will ensures his ambitions are soon realised; land, marriage, children, his own
troop to fight in the Civil War... but Sutpen returns from the conflict to find
his estate in ruins and his family collapsing. Secrets from his own past
threaten to ruin the lives of his children and destroy everything he has worked
for.
