Canada is a life+50 country, but I believe all of the EU is life+70. There is a free public domain copy of The Sound and the Fury at the Faded Page, for those of you in life+50 countries. It won't be public domain in the US until 2025, I think.

I'm not going to attempt to notify Amazon or Random House that this is probably an unauthorized edition. IMHO, they never should have retroactively extended the length of copyrighted works. Faulkner at the time of his death had the expectation that this novel would be public domain in 1986. If this is an unauthorized edition, and Random House notifies Amazon, Amazon has a history of removing them from purchaser's Kindle libraries.
