Who wrote the modernist novel The Sound and the Fury?

F. Scott Fitzgerald
Nathaniel Hawthorne
J.D. Salinger
William Faulkner

The correct answer is: William Faulkner

The other choices are incorrect because they all belong to different literary movements or time periods. F. Scott Fitzgerald was a writer during the Jazz Age, Nathaniel Hawthorne was a romantic/transcendentalist author, and J.D. Salinger was a part of the post-World War II generation. William Faulkner, on the other hand, was known for his experimentation with modernist literature, making him the author of The Sound and the Fury.
