The Sound and the Fury
In 1945, Faulkner wrote an appendix to the novel to be published in the then-forthcoming anthology "The Portable Faulkner", edited by Malcolm Cowley. At Faulkner's behest, however, subsequent printings of "The Sound and the Fury" frequently contain the appendix at the end of the book; it is sometimes referred to as the fifth part. Having been written sixteen years after "The Sound and the Fury", the appendix presents some textual differences from the novel, but serves to clarify the novel's opaque story.
