The idea
Benjy narrates in sensation without time, Quentin in the anguished stream of a man about to kill himself, Jason in bitter practical complaint, and the last section moves to a third person centred on Dilsey, the Black servant who holds the household together.
In practice
Sensation, anguish, grievance, endurance.
Where people slip
Each section is a different technical experiment.
