FAULKNER PHILOSOPHY

Submitted by ub on

Mississippi native William Cuthbert Faulkner was a Nobel Prize winner and considered one of America’s finest authors.

I like to think of him as a little big man. He is known for his Southern Gothic themes and stream-of-consciousness style. Faulkner’s work explores complex social, psychological, and racial issues.

Faulkner's novels and short stories are set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, which is based on Lafayette County, where he spent most of his life.

Faulkner wrote 13 novels and many short stories but started as a popular poet and didn’t even know it.
