|
He never strayed far from his Southern roots—his most memorable stories
are set in the mythical South of Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi. Yet William Faulkner's appeal spans
from his home in Oxford, Mississippi, to the far ends of the globe. In print, he tackled some of the
biggest issues facing humanity—life, death, wealth, poverty, race, love, hate and fading
glory—with great sensitivity during a time of social upheaval and technological advancement.
Take a journey through Faulkner's life and times from his days as a high school dropout to his
enlistment in the Canadian Air Force; from his earliest novels to his Hollywood days, and finally,
as an acclaimed man of letters.
