Biography

William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25, 1897. His family was rooted in local history: his great-grandfather, a Confederate colonel and state politician, was assassinated by a former partner in 1889, and his grandfather was a wealth lawyer who owned a railroad. When Faulkner was five his parents moved to Oxford, Mississippi, where he received a desultory education in local schools, dropping out of high school in 1915. Rejected for pilot training in the U.S. Army, he passed himself off as British and joined the Canadian Royal Air Force in 1918, but the war ended before he saw any service. After the war, he took some classes at the University of Mississippi and worked for a time at the university post office. Mostly, however, he educated himself by reading promiscuously.

Faulkner had begun writing poems when he was a schoolboy, and in 1924 he published a poetry collection, The Marble Faun, at his own expense. His literary aspirations were fueled by his close friendship with Sherwood Anderson, whom he met during a stay in New Orleans. Faulkner's first novel, Soldier's Pay, was published in 1926, followed a year later by Mosquitoes, a literary satire. His next book, Flags in the Dust, was heavily cut and rearranged at the publisher's insistence and appeared finally as Sartoris in 1929. In the meantime he had completed The Sound and the Fury, and when it appeared at the end of 1929 he had finished Sanctuary and was ready to begin writing As I Lay Dying. That same year he married Estelle Oldham, whom he had courted a decade earlier.

Although Faulkner gained literary acclaim from these and subsequent novels -- Light in August (1932), Pylon (1935), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), The Unvanquished (1938), The Wild Palms (1939), The Hamlet (1940), and Go Down, Moses (1942) -- and continued to publish stories regularly in magazines, he was unable to support himself solely by writing fiction. he worked as a screenwriter for MGM, Twentieth Century-Fox, and Warner Brothers, forming a close relationship with director Howard Hawks, with whom he worked on To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, and Land of the Pharaohs, among other films. In 1944 all but one of Faulkner's novels were out of print, and his personal life was at low ebb due in part to his chronic heavy drinking. During the war he had been discovered by Sartre and Camus and others in the French literary world. In the postwar period his reputation rebounded, as Malcolm Cowley's anthology The Portable Faulkner brought him fresh attention in America, and the immense esteem in which he was held in Europe consolidated his worldwide stature.

Faulkner wrote seventeen books set in the mythical Yoknapatawpha County, home of the Compson family in The Sound and the Fury. "No land in all fiction lives more vividly in its physical presence than this county of Faulkner's imagination," Robert Penn Warren wrote in an essay on Cowley's anthology. "The descendants of the old families, the descendants of bushwhackers and carpetbaggers, the swamp rats, the Negro cooks and farm hands, the bootleggers and gangsters, tenant farmers, college boys, county-seat lawyers, country storekeepers, peddlers--all are here in their fullness of life and their complicated interrelations." In 1950, Faulkner traveled to Sweden to accept the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature. In later books--Intruder in the Dust (1948), Requiem for a Nun (1951), A Fable (1954), The Town (1957), The Mansion (1959), and The Reivers (1962) -- he continued to explore what he had called "the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself," but did so in the context of Yoknapatawpha's increasing connection with the modern world. He died of a heart attack on July 6, 1962.

一本让读者无视时历史、文化差异,迅速融溶其中的好书!一套八册的《福克纳文集》李文俊翻译了四册,个人感觉:此乃李所译的四册中,故事性最强的一本;就故事性而言,可能也是整套文集里最好看的一本。

读书笔记294:去吧,摩西 福克纳最经典的一部小说集,也是最难读的一部。前几部长篇给福克纳带了了一定声誉,但生活依然艰难,一大家子人靠他一支笔养活,靠着借支来的钱完成了一部小说,七个中短篇组成,可以说是小说集,也可以说是长篇小说,评论界有一定争议。 七篇中最长的...

我一向不会写书评。只是凭着一股感情流推搡着,好像光芒万丈了起来。 而到了近前,发现能做的充其量只是尴尬环视四周。 而要评价的作品此刻正在遥远处博大无声着。 《去吧摩西》是由三个相关的家族故事组成的,分开来都可以独立成篇。福克纳构件的那个庞大法系是天地乾坤,...

It was like the last act on a set stage.It was the beginning of the end of something,he didn't know what expect that he would not grieve.He would be humble and proud that he had been found worthy to be a part of it too or even just to see it too.

其中有一章,对于过去的账本的回顾,直接把我看晕了。最喜欢的还是作者本来就单独发表的The Bear

评分

对美国南方丛林那种阴暗神秘和混沌的氛围有出色的描写。一个家族在生存最根本的层面和自然的神力和文明社会的入侵之间,挣扎着保持自己生存和精神的领地。
