William Faulkner: Fiction
built 614 days ago
During the early 1920s Faulkner wrote poetry and fiction. In the volume of verse The Marble Faun (1922), a printer's error allegedly introduced the "u" into the author's name, which he decided to retain. The money for another book of poems, The Green Bough (1933), was supplied by a lawyer friend, Philip Stone, on whom the lawyer in Faulkner's later fiction is modeled. Faulkner's poetry shows the poet's taste for language but lacks stylistic discipline.

Faulkner's fiction often strikes readers as racist, sexist and even misogynistic. Prepare yourself to encounter some ideas that you may find offensive, but realize that these are not necessarily Faulkner's ideas. His characters often hold offensive ideas that he doesn't directly criticize in his writing.
