There are different Translation Quality Assessment Models, each of which introduces new ideas and novel ways to assess the quality of a translated work. These models, however, approach this task differently based on their theoretical framework to assess a translated work integratively, discretely or a mix of them. House´s TQA model seems to be a promising one to assess literary translations. The current study aimed at investigating the House´s Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) Model and its power to predict the errors in Persian translations of literary works. A translation quality assessment of Persian translation of William Faulkner´s "The Sound and the Fury" on the basis of House´s Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) Model was carried out. Some samples of the original and their translations were randomly selected and analyzed. The findings supported the claim that House´s Model is capable of predicting the types of errors which are covertly and overtly erroneous errors.
