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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

我一嚮不會寫書評。隻是憑著一股感情流推搡著,好像光芒萬丈瞭起來。 而到瞭近前,發現能做的充其量隻是尷尬環視四周。 而要評價的作品此刻正在遙遠處博大無聲著。 《去吧摩西》是由三個相關的傢族故事組成的,分開來都可以獨立成篇。福剋納構件的那個龐大法係是天地乾坤,...

評分

熟悉福剋納小說的讀者都知道,這位是從來不甘於寫一部四平八穩的小說的,哥就是不走尋常路,玩的就是一個騷。 從《喧嘩與騷動》放任無節製的意識流,到《我彌留之際》多角色不同視角敘述,《八月之光》割裂劇情,倒錯時間。。。所以在你讀完本書第一篇《話說當年》,長籲一口...  

評分

《去吧,摩西》是福剋納最負盛名的作品之一,也是“約剋納帕塔法世係”的重要構成部分,美國南方莊園主麥卡斯林與女奴生有一女,後又與這個女兒生下一子泰瑞樂,泰瑞樂後來娶瞭另一位莊園主布錢普的女奴譚尼,其子嗣都以布錢普為姓氏。麥卡斯林的外孫女則嫁給瞭愛德濛傢茲。全...  

評分

一本讓讀者無視時曆史、文化差異,迅速融溶其中的好書!一套八冊的《福剋納文集》李文俊翻譯瞭四冊,個人感覺:此乃李所譯的四冊中,故事性最強的一本;就故事性而言,可能也是整套文集裏最好看的一本。  

評分

寫於2018.2.10 福剋納的小說,一如既往的沉悶。個人比較喜歡“大森林三部麯”——《古老的部族》《熊》和《三角洲之鞦》。 福剋納筆下的黑人與白人的關係很奇妙,也很尷尬。血緣關係和種族關係深深烙印,他們的矛盾與對抗日益顯現。老祖宗卡洛瑟斯•麥卡斯林從未齣現過,可...
