William Faulkner (September 15th 1897 - July 6th 1962) is a American Romancier .

Biography

Resulting from an aristocratic family, Faulkner was born under the name of William Falkner (and not Faulkner) with New Albany in the county from Union, (the Mississippi) and was deeply influenced by the life of the States of the American south. The the Mississippi marked its direction of the Humor, of the Tragique (by social cleavage between Noir S and Blancs into force at the time), its capacity to forge typical characters of the south (one of them being that of the sharp and intelligent man, masked behind the frontage of a little simple good chap). One of its first editors was mistaken in the orthography in its name, it re-electing “Faulkner”, name which the author finally decided to keep like pen name.

It engaged in the Canadian Aviation during the First World War, but the Armistice was signed before it could make its first vol. It settled shortly after its marriage with Oxford, the Mississippi.

Its first collection Thirteen Stories (1931) joins together its most known news, among which a pink for Emily . In the years 1930, in the search of a business success, Faulkner wrote a sensational novel entitled Sanctuaire (1931), which mingles the topic with the Mal and the Corruption with a Gothic tonality Sudiste. Written like one following this novel, Requiem for a nun is only the Play which it ever published. Its introduction is made of a sentence which is spread on two pages. It accepted the Prix Pulitzer for Parabole ( has fable ), then the National Book Award with title Posthume for the whole of its work.

Later in its career, Faulkner left for Hollywood and becomes Scénariste, writing inter alia for the realizer Howard Hawks and in collaboration with Francis Scott Fitzgerald the scenario of the film the Big sleep , drawn from the book of Raymond Chandler, like that of the film " the Port of the anguish " , drawn from the book of Ernest Hemingway to have some or not . It at that time had a connection with the secretary of Hawks, Meta Carpenter.

It accepted the Nobel Prize of literature in 1949 (five years before Hemingway). He drank little time before leaving to seek the reward with Stockholm (Faulkner was an alcoholic notorious), where he gave a speech, informant “to accept the end of the Man. The Man will not make that to undergo, it will prevail”. Faulkner gave the sum received so “establishing funds of support for the new novelists”, which became the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction .

It was “writer-resident” with the Université of Virginia, of 1957 until its death in 1962.

Work

William Faulkner wrote Romance concerning psychological Drame, in a great concern of the emotions, and made of a Prose tortuous and subtle and of a Prosodie very worked. Like the majority of the prolific authors, he suffered from the Jalousie and the Mépris of the others, and was regarded as the stylistic rival of Ernest Hemingway (its long sentences being opposed the incisive style and to minimalist of Hemingway). He is also seen nowadays like a major representative of the literary Modernisme American of the Années 1930, according to the experimental tradition European authors such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust, known for their use of the multiple Narration, of the multiple Point of view, the internal Focalization, and the narrative ellipses. Faulkner worked out as for him what it is advisable to call the “Courant of conscience”, style giving an erratic and spontaneous appearance, and yet very worked.

The most known novels of Faulkner are probably the Noise and the fury (1929), While I fail (1930), Sanctuaire (1931), Lumière of August (1938), and Absalon, Absalon! (1936), - this last being readily regarded as its masterpiece, which depicts the success of a grower and its Tragique failure caused by the racial Préjugé S and the lack of Amour.

But most accessible and most representative of his style the intruder is ; a history worthy of a western of large the John Ford. An police investigation, carried out by kids above all, an old lady, and adults of which the famous uncle Gavin whom one will find in other novels. A serious and truculent history in which it is a question of saving the life of a black, which very well is then not seen in the South. One feels Faulkner with his ease in this type of history, dark and full with Humor. Faulkner was also a prolific author of Nouvelle S.

He was also an author appreciated for his police stories, publishing five new black under the title Gambit of the rider whose common Héros, Gavin Stevens, is the Procureur of a small town of the the Mississippi in the county of Yoknapatawpha. Several of its others Nouvelle S and Romance are held in this county, misadventure literary of the county of Lafayette where Oxford is located. Yoknapatawpha took such a place in the work of Faulkner that it became about it one of most monumental creations of fiction of the history of the Littérature.
