Regardless, if Benjy is the aforementioned imbecile that has been alluded to, then “sound and fury” is well represented in his chapter. Sound the perception and fury being the action, both of which are of no…

Nick Blinko is a British outsider artist, schizophrenic, and lead singer and guitar player in the experimental Anarcho-Punk band Rudimentary Peni.
