Description
William Faulkner: Mississippi Rascal
Although he stood only five feet, five-and-a-half inches tall, William Faulkner was a giant—a literary giant, one of the few really great American writers of the Twentieth century. He was a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature and two Pulitzer Prizes, as well as many other literary awards. Not bad for “a nocount useless rascal.”
William Faulkner:
A Checklist of Primary First Editions
Faulkner is nearly as difficult bibliographically as he is textually. We present a core collection of Faulkner’s major works. These should provide challenge enough for any collector.
Bill’s Brother John, The Other Faulkner
Although he is nearly forgotten today, Bill’s younger brother John Faulkner was also an accomplished writer. He published eight novels and numerous short stories and vignettes. It is possible to assemble a complete John Faulkner collection, but several of his highly praised books are difficult to find in collector’s condition.
The Bookman’s Ordeal
A cautionary tale in which a bookseller tells of his struggle to get his books signed.
Books into Film
The Hamlet, a novel by William Faulkner; The Long, Hot Summer, a film by Martin Ritt.
