![]() This is where Damian’s career as Robin begins in earnest, although it’s not as the partner to his father. ![]() The initial story ends in Batman #658 where Talia and Damian are both presumed to have perished in an explosion, but Batman and his readers alike knew that they would appear again before long… It’s only when Batman snaps at him in the manner of a martial arts master that Damian changes his attitude and begins to revere his caped and cowled father. Right away, Damian is characterized as a spoiled, nasty piece of work who refuses to respect Alfred, Robin (Tim Drake) or Wayne Manor. This was all a violent way for Talia to get her former beloved’s attention, requesting that Damian be brought up under his father so that he could learn from the World’s Greatest Detective and fulfill his potential as rightful ruler of the world. In the next issue, Talia introduces the two in an iconic scene where the young lad holds a sword to a captured Batman’s throat. ![]() ![]() In Batman #655, we see a shadowed young figure accompanied by Talia claiming Bruce Wayne as his father.

And not for nothing has he been called a big, fat Pinocchio with his pants on fire by the fact-checking teams at the Times, the Washington Post, and Politifact, whose careful reports apparently have little influence on the electorate, because, as a writer for Politico admitted, “Nobody but political fanatics pays much mind to them.” “You lied,” Marco Rubio said to Trump during the truth-for-tat February debate. Not for nothing has he been called the Human Lie Detector. ![]() Trump thinks a lot of people are liars, especially politicians (Jeb Bush: “Lying on campaign trail!”) and reporters (“Too bad dopey lies!”). ![]() ![]() Ted Cruz’s campaign autobiography is called “A Time for Truth.” “This guy’s a liar,” Donald Trump said at a recent G.O.P. Lynch sees threats to our capacity to reason. ![]() ![]() In this way Faulkner is both telling the story and offering a meditation on the failure of language to truly capture life. The tortured stream of consciousness of sections like Quentin’s creates the feeling of struggle, of trying to work through memory and suffering through thoughts and words. Narration, therefore, in The Sound and the Fury does not move from the Symbolic to the Real to unveil the kernel of Benjys cryptic enunciation as would have. Different points of view, perspectives of time and memory, and narrative styles are needed to properly tell the story of The Sound and the Fury, but even then they can only hint at the truths Faulkner is trying to express. While the writing is original and beautiful, the style and use of multiple narrators actually seems to point to the failure of language, especially in its ability to capture the truth of an emotion or event. ![]() Within the plot itself, repeated phrases and memories are important to each character, like Caddy’s name to Benjy. The winding sentences and stream-of-consciousness style mirror the struggles of the narrators as they try to make sense of a past that seems as real as the present. ![]() Each section of the book is told in a different narrative style, where the writing itself blends with the themes and stories it describes: Benjy’s section is muddled and subjective, while Jason’s is clear but brutal. Faulkner presents the degradation, decay, violence and death that have replaced courage, pride, love and honor in the Compson family. Faulkner’s innovative and often confusing language is the most unique part of The Sound and the Fury. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sure to captivate the avid fans of the Dark Tower epic, this is an enchanting introduction to Roland’s world and the power of Stephen King’s storytelling magic. "Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them." ![]() "A person's never too old for stories," he says to Bill.
