William Faulkner Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

William Cuthbert Faulkner (/ˈfɔːknər/, September 25, 1897 – July 6, 1962) was an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate from Oxford, Mississippi. Faulkner wrote novels, short stories, a play, poetry, essays and screenplays. He is primarily known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he spent most of his life.Faulkner is one of the most celebrated writers in American literature generally and Southern literature specifically. Though his work was published as early as 1919, and largely during the 1920s and 1930s, Faulkner was relatively unknown until receiving the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature. Two of his works, A Fable (1954) and his last novel The Reivers (1962), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked his 1929 novel The Sound and the Fury sixth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century; also on the list were As I Lay Dying (1930) and Light in August (1932). Absalom, Absalom! (1936) is often included on similar lists.

#	Quote
1	It's not Hollywood's fault. The writer is not accustomed to money. It goes to his head and destroys him.
2	Hollywood is a place where a man can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder.
3	I'm just a farmer who likes to tell stories.
4	Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all . . . Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

#	Fact
1	Was close friends with his publisher, Random House owner Bennett Cerf. When introduced to Cerf's wife, Phyllis Fraser, Faulkner greeted her as "Miss Phyllis" and called her that forever after.
2	Once worked as a house painter.
3	His favorite TV show was Car 54, Where Are You? (1961). Though he despised television, he reportedly would visit a friend's house on Saturday nights to watch the cop comedy.
4	Director Howard Hawks related once how he took Faulkner and Clark Gable along with him on a hunting trip. Hawks was friends with both, but neither Faulkner nor Gable knew each other and Hawks didn't tell either one who the other was. During the trip the conversation turned to writers, and Gable asked Faulkner who he thought are the best writers. Faulkner replied, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Thomas Mann and myself." Gable said, "Oh, do you write, Mr. Faulkner?" Faulkner replied, "Yes. And what do you do, Mr. Gable?".
5	A legendary, but possibly apocryphal, story about Faulkner relates how, after he had been hired by 20th Century-Fox as a screenwriter, he had been sitting around the Fox writers building for a few weeks without having done anything. A producer who had seen him wandering around the building asked what he was doing, and Faulkner replied that he had nothing to do. The producer asked if he had any ideas for a story. Faulkner replied that he had, but he would be better able to write it at home rather than in the Writers Building. The producer told him it was OK to go home, assuming that Faulkner meant the home in Hollywood that the studio was renting for him. A few days later the producer got a call from Faulkner, who had indeed gone home--to Oxford, Mississippi.
6	A short story by Faulkner, "Two Soldiers", which was originally published in The Saturday Evening Post (1942), was made into a short film directed by Aaron Schneider. The film went on to win a 2004 Oscar for Best Short Film, (Live Action). It is a poignant tale of brotherhood and the sacrifices of family ties American Soldiers must make for war.
7	While working in Hollywood, was friends with screenwriter A.I. Bezzerides and actor Humphrey Bogart.
8	Frequently worked with Howard Hawks.
9	Pictured on a 22¢ US commemorative postage stamp in the Literary Arts series, issued 3 August 1987.
10	Interred at Saint Peter's Cemetery, Oxford, Mississippi.
11	Though Faulkner wrote well over one hundred short stories, only one of them, "Golden Land, " is set in Hollywood.
12	His screenplay for Ernest Hemingway's novel To Have and Have Not (1944) marks the only time in film history that two Nobel Prize-winning authors were associated with the same motion picture.
13	The character of the alcoholic Southern novelist-turned screenwriter W. P. Mayhew in the movie Barton Fink (1991) is based loosely on Faulkner.
14	Born at 11:0pm-CST
15	Was awarded the 1949 Nobel prize in literature.
