William Cuthbert Faulkner is an American writer and Nobel Laureate from Oxford, Mississippi. Faulkner writes novels, short stories, screenplays, poems, essays and a play. He is best known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based in Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he has spent most of his life. Faulkner is one of the best-known writers of American literature in general and Southern literature in particular. Although his work was published as early as 1919 and largely throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Faulkner's fame peaked when he published The Portable Faulkner and Malcolm Cowley's Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949, making him the only Nobel Prize winner born in Mississippi.
