Autorenporträt
While Faulkner's first novels garnered him very little attention, he went on to write works such as Absalom, Absalom!, Light in August, and The Sound and the Fury. He later went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1955 and 1963, among many other accolades. While Faulkner's rise to fame isn't well-known by most, his influence and lasting impression on Southern Literature will not soon be forgotten. Faulkner wasn't afraid to examine the racial disparity of the South or question the lives of Southern aristocrats. Through his use of the Gothic style, his analytical and aberrant texts, and his examination of the Southern tragedy through elaborate and grotesque prose, Faulkner opens the door for his readers to inhabit a crumbling Southern landscape through a literary lens.
