In 1929, in his novel "Sartoris," Faulkner presented almost all the ideas he developed during the rest of his life. Soon after, he published the book he liked best, "The Sound and the Fury." It was finished before "Sartoris," but did not appear until six months later.
In talking about "The Sound and the Fury," Faulkner said he saw in his mind a dirty little girl playing in front of her house. From this small beginning, Faulkner developed a story about the Compson family, told in four different voices. Three of the voices are brothers: Benjy, who is mentally sick; Quentin, who kills himself, and Jason, a business failure. Each of them for different reasons mourns the loss of their sister, Caddie. Each has a different piece of the story.在1929年，在他的小说《沙多里斯》中， 福克斯将在余生中几乎所有的想法在这一本书中表达了出来。 不久，他又将一本他挚爱的书籍出版，这便是《喧哗与骚动》。这本书的完成是在《沙多里斯》之前，但却在完成的六个月后才出版。
在谈起《喧哗与骚动》的创作，福克纳说他在脑中构想一个浑身脏兮兮的小姑娘在自家房前玩耍。就是从这么一个细节开始，福克纳便由此创作了一个关于康普生一家的故事，这个故事讲述了4个不同的角色，其中三个角色是哥哥和弟弟：班吉有大脑障碍：昆丁自杀了还有杰森一个在商业上失败的人。每个人都有自己不同的原因去悼念他们失去的姐姐和妹妹：凯蒂。每个人在故事中都扮演了不同的部分。
