This essay focuses on The Sound and the Fury and the implosion of all temporal cohesion in Faulkner�s novel(s). Up until the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the form of the novel coincided with narrative form, that is, narrative order, which is perhaps the only constraint the novel was forced to obey. Starting from a new experience and perception of time, much experimentation carried out by modernism revolves precisely around the erosion of narrative: breaking the limits of Aristotelian mimesis, searching for a different notion (and practice) of �realism�. In conclusion, the essay invites readers to reflect on the novel-form today, questioning whether the provocative and disruptive force of modernism�s experimentation still belongs to our contemporary literary horizon.
