More by William Faulkner
Nobel-Prize-winning writer William Faulkner was born into an old Southern family in 1897 and grew up in Oxford, Mississippi. He never finished high school. Faulkner joined the British Royal Air Force during World War 1, changing the spelling of his surname from Falkner to Faulkner. After the war, he studied at the University of Mississippi, and held a variety of jobs from bookstore clerk to reporter. Faulkner's main efforts, however, focused on writing stories and novels. After publishing several books including The Sound and The Fury and Light in August, Faulkner took up screenwriting as a way of earning money. He traveled to Hollywood intermittently to fulfill his obligations, but kept his home in Mississippi. One of the most important American writers and strongly associated with the South, Faulkner earned several National Book Awards and two Pulitzer Prizes in addition to the Nobel Prize for Literature (1949). He died in 1962.

This is definitely a quick but good read. If I begin to go into detail, it will ruin it for you; however, it is about one Miss Emily Grierson, who is from a respectable family of which she is the sole remaining descendent. She remains shrouded in a cloud of private mystery with only the occasional entry or departure of her black servant to provide her with the basic necessites from the outside world. After a small accumulation of seemingly unconnected incidents, the story ends on a horrifying and ghastly note, which manages to leave the reader confident that he knows what the ending means, but at the same time is left hanging uncertainly. I would also like to strongly recommend _The Sound and the Fury_ to anyone who has enjoyed this or any of Faulkner's works.

Embracing Faulkner
Published by William SheltonSeptember 26, 2020
When he was in college, our Regional Director William Shelton was told his writing was like Faulkner! And he…recoiled in disdain. For Faulkner newcomers and fans alike, William’s experience learning to appreciate the classic author gives a great understanding of why Faulkner has made such an impact.
