ABE-10655186863Folio Press London In October 1928 the young writer William Faulkner tossed a recently completed manuscript to his friend and agent Ben Wasson: Read this Bud. Its a real son-of-a-bitch This ones the greatest Ill ever write. Twenty years and several great novels later Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his 'powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American Novel'. The Sound and the Fury searing tragic extraordinary in its innovation is the most powerful of all. Indeed this novel had become one of the most influential in 20th-century American literature. Faulkner knew that what made the book a real son-of-a-bitch was what Wasson called the sheer technical outrageousness and freshness of the Benjy section. Faulkner wished to find a publisher whose attitude to printing matched the innovation of the writing one prepared to print the novel in several colours. Nearly 100 years later The Folio Society is fulfilling that vision with a new limited edition that is a landmark in literary publishing. The binding design is by Russell Maret an outstanding typographer and fine press printer based in New York. The sides are printed letterpress on Canson Mi-Teintes paper with a type ornament devised by Maret exclusively for this edition. The leather quarter-binding employs an unusual technique using split boards at front and back so that the paper sides can wrap around all four edges of the boards. The slipcase is inset with a matching red leather titling label on the spine so that the box can be stored on the shelf without exposing the vermillion leather of the books spine to potential sun-fading or damage. Strictly limited to 1480 copies numbered by hand. Printed on Abbey Wove paper using 14 different colours of ink. Gilded top edge. Quarter-bound in vermilion goatskin leather. Blocked in gold. Paper sides printed letterpress with type ornaments designed by Russell Maret. 320 pages. Book size: 10¼" x 6½"The exclusive commentary volume: Commentary volume bound in buckram. Blocked in gold. 232 pages. Both volumes presented in cloth-bound slipcase with inset leather titling label. To assist the reader a bookmark is supplied with all colors and their matching dates as well as line numbers marked along one side to facilitate cross-referencing between the text and commentary. The Sound and The Fury is acknowledged as one of the masterpieces of 20th-century literature and this stunning limited edition is worthy of this stature.
