Which Faulkner novel is that? I reckon it must be The Hamlet [ducks and runs for cover]. Seriously though, to which book are you referring?I am currently three-quarters of the way though William Faulkner's
Intruder in the Dust, so this is, indeed, a curious thread for me.

Alex, two Faulkner tomes are worked into this interplay:
The Sound and the Fury (he did, indeed, take the title from Shakespeare's
Hamlet quote; this novel is considered by many to be his masterpiece and is probably his most famous work).
As I Lay Dying (one of his earlier works)
