Regarding the book, The Sound and The Fury, pages 1 to 33


I am so lost and confused! *sigh* *halfhearted sob*
What is real? What is happening now? When is this? What is going on?
I can't tell when is when, when is the present, what was the past, are we seeing into the future. The flashbacks are random and illogical, it seems. I am sure all will reveal itself in time, but will my sanity survive through the dark terrors of the novel? Will my fragile sanity survive through the scathing winter and the bombardment of the insane and all things illogical? They say there is always method to the madness. I am sure that is true.
The only task is surviving,
enduring,
withstanding
the madness.

Oh! Hey! There's a back cover to this book! and looky what it says!
"he portrays with startling realism the lives of some of the most famous characters in American literature, the Compson family," (to tell the truth, I have never heard of the Compson family, but alrighty) "Benjy, the idiot man-child."
Yay! It all makes sense now! (Kinda sorta not really but the puzzle pieces are dropping into place) That is why the flashbacks are there the way they are.  Our mysterious narrator is really Benjy, who must be retarded or mentally handicapped or whatever the politically correct term is now.
