Does William Faulker have any books that aren't set in the deep south? I really want to read William Faulkner but I can't get into any of his books. Can you recommend me a good one to start with or one that isn't that hard to read?
Answer
Nearly all of William Faulkner's Mature works are about the South. Specifically, Faulkner writes about the inhabitants of an imaginary county called "Yoknapatawpha. Not all these stories take place in the South, but their central characters are all Southerners from Yoknapatawpha."
Nearly all his stories deal with various generations of families from Yoknapatawpha. When, for instance, during WWII, someone from Yoknapatawpha ends up leaving the south, Faulkner describes his story as it takes place in france. Similarly, in The Sound and The Fury, one of the five sections takes place at Harvard, following the story of the son of one of the Yoknapatawpha families.
Faulkner was heavily influenced by Charles Darwin, thus his main interest as a writer was to explore the way in which people lived and interacted and made decisions, as if humans were animals, neither good nor evil, but subject to natural necessities and inclinations. He focused on analyzing southern culture, because he lived there, and he was especially interested in the animal-like way in which the southern poor lived, and the huge disparity in living styles of southerners, as a sort of evolutionary process that made the less fit poor and miserable.

questioner
I'm searching for a free, if possible, audio book or a website where I can listen to William Faulkner's The Sound and The Fury?
Also, what are torrents and do they have a virus?
Answer
I wouldn't recommend it. This work is difficult enough to appreciate given the numerous perspective shifts and extended scenes of stream of consciousness without a third party getting involved. I'm afraid to understand Faulkner's work you have to read it the old fashioned way.
