Struggling

The Sound and the Fury is tough!  I'm really struggling through it.  I understand it is in four parts, each told from a different point of view.  The first part is from Benjy's perspective.  Since Benjy is mentally handicapped, I'm hoping the other three aren't as difficult to understand as his.  I read and reread the words over and over but can't put a story or a plot together enough to follow the narrative or the dialogue.  The story jumps around a lot, and I can't find any indicators to know when the time has shifted.

Is anyone else struggling here?
