نبذة عن المؤلف
William Faulkner was an American writer and Nobel laureate, widely regarded as one of the most important voices in modern literature. Born in New Albany, Mississippi, Faulkner is celebrated for his innovative narrative techniques, complex characterizations, and the deep exploration of themes such as the human condition, the decay of the American South, and the interplay of history and memory. His works have left an indelible mark on literature, cementing his reputation as a literary giant.
William Cuthbert Faulkner grew up in Oxford, Mississippi, a small Southern town that greatly influenced his work. The eldest of four brothers, he came from a family with a storied history, which became a source of inspiration for many of his novels. Faulkner dropped out of high school and briefly attended the University of Mississippi before leaving to pursue his literary ambitions. His early life was marked by a strong connection to Southern traditions and a keen observation of the cultural and social changes around him.
Faulkner's innovations in style and narrative earned him critical acclaim and made him a central figure in 20th-century literature. His exploration of moral and existential dilemmas resonated far beyond the American South, influencing generations of writers, including Gabriel García Márquez, Toni Morrison, and Cormac McCarthy. Faulkner's portrayal of the South's struggles with race, class, and history brought a universal dimension to regional literature.
