Description
EN
American short story writer, novelist, best known for his stories of Yoknapatawpha County. Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.
William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi . While he was still a child, the family settled in Oxford in north-central Mississippi. Faulkner lived most of his life in the town. About the age of 13, he began to write poetry. At the Oxford High School he played quarterback on football team and suffered a broken nose. Before graduating, he dropped out school and worked briefly in his grandfather's bank.
Faulkner moved to New York City, where he worked as a clerk in a bookstore, and then returned to Oxford. For a time Faulkner supported himself as a postmaster at the University of Mississippi, but was fired for reading on the job. He drifted to New Orleans, where Sherwood Anderson encouraged him to write fiction rather than poetry.
In 1929 Faulkner wrote Sartoris, the first of fifteen novels set in Yoknapatawpha County, a fictional region of Mississippi-actually Yoknapatawpha was Lafayette County. The Chickasaw Indian term meant "water passes slowly through flatlands." The novels spanned the decades of economic decline from the American Civil War through the Depression. Racism, class division, family as both life force and curse, are the recurring themes along with recurring characters and places.
In 1929 Faulkner married Estelle Oldham Franklin, his childhood sweetheart.The following year he purchased the traditional Southern pillared house in Oxford, which he named Rowan Oak.
Faulkner loved just hanging out near the Oxford Square. He spent many hours sitting and conversing with fellow citizens.
