William Faulkner (1897-1962), Nobel Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer, is widely regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the twentieth century. His work, centered on the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi, reshaped modern narrative technique through stream-of-consciousness prose, shifting perspectives, and complex chronology. His influence on American and world literature remains profound.
