The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

Near the end of her life, Mary Mann Hamilton (1866-c.1936) was encouraged to record her experiences as a female pioneer. The result is the only known firsthand account of a remarkable woman thrust into the center of taming the American South - surviving floods, tornadoes, and fires; facing bears, panthers, and snakes; managing a boardinghouse in Arkansas that was home to an eccentric group of settlers; and running a logging camp in Mississippi that blazed a trail for development in the Mississippi Delta.

The Hamlet, the first novel of Faulkner's Snopes trilogy, is both an ironic take on classical tragedy and a mordant commentary on the grand pretensions of the antebellum South and the depths of its decay in the aftermath of war and Reconstruction. It tells of the advent and the rise of the Snopes family in Frenchman's Bend, a small town built on the ruins of a once-stately plantation.

Flannery O’Connor’s astonishing and haunting first novel is a classic of 20th-century literature. It is the story of Hazel Motes, a 22-year-old caught in an unending struggle against his innate, desperate faith. He falls under the spell of a “blind” street preacher named Asa Hawks and his degenerate fifteen-year-old daughter. In an ironic, malicious gesture of his own non-faith, and to prove himself a greater cynic than Hawks, Hazel founds The Church of God Without Christ but is still thwarted in his efforts to lose God.

In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero".

Historia
Hillary Jordan's mesmerizing debut novel won the Bellwether Prize for fiction. A powerful piece of Southern literature, Mudbound takes on prejudice in its myriad forms on a Mississippi Delta farm in 1946. City girl Laura McAllen attempts to raise her family despite questionable decisions made by her husband. Tensions continue to rise when her brother-in-law and the son of a family of sharecroppers both return from WWII as changed men bearing the scars of combat.

A noxious tale perfectly painted
Where does Tobacco Road rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the most difficult book I've ever listened to. The characters are desperately, willfully, unrelentingly benighted. Every day I wanted to stop listening. What scheme would one of them sabotage next? I wondered. If it wasn't for Mark Hammer's narration, I would have been very tempted to quit.
Another thought that kept me going was that Caldwell might have been using Jeeter and all as metaphors for the opposite side of the coin - the Wall Street manipulators, laissez faire capitalists, and technocrats he might be blaming for the Depression the Lesters were struggling to survive. I haven't read that in any review, though.
What was most disappointing about Erskine Caldwell’s story?
The despair was devastating.
What about Mark Hammer’s performance did you like?
I bought this book because Mark Hammer narrated it. His accent and his pace allowed me to keep listening to this tragedy.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This novel depressed me. I can't imagine why it ran so long on Broadway.

I liked it!
I love listening to the narrator, the characters voices is what I loved about it more than the story.

Wonderful
It is easy to see why this novel is a classic. The author did a great job at portraying the bleakness of the characters lives while tempering it with the unintentional humor from their folly and ignorance. Caldwell gives them dimension and makes them sympathetic despite themselves. Moreover, the narrator does an absolutely amazing job. One of the best audiobooks I've ever heard!

I was somewhat offended by the storyline
This was a very hard book for me to listen to, it was recommended to me by a friend. I listened til the end hoping for something of a plot or story. None came , it ended like it started. I did not enjoy it.

Disappointment
The narrator did a good job, with what he had to work with. Didn’t care for this story at all. Would not recommend it....

Horrible followed by more horrible
Tobacco Road is said to be one of the 100 best American books of all time.
It’s total shit. A store about mentally disturbed whack job people. Who are totally detached from reality.
