 Hi, my name is Elise. I'm from Austin, Texas. And the book that I think shaped America is The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. The reason that I chose this book is because it really does deliver a poignant take about class in America and in our society. And that's why I think it shaped America, because it's able to tell a tale of human suffering, regardless of class or gender. And it's something that we can all relate to, no matter where we come from.
