小說家威廉‧福克納 (William Faulkner) 出生
1897925

福克納一生中曾獲得兩次普利茲獎,並且獲得1949年的諾貝爾文學獎。他曾在1925年間住在路易斯安那州的紐奧良住過一小段日子。在那裡,他的寫作夥伴薛伍德‧安德森 (Sherwood Anderson) 鼓勵他要多多撰寫他所認識的人們和地方,那也是為什麼福克納會創造出約克納帕塔瓦郡這個虛構城市的原因,而這個城市也成為福克納許多作品的背景。

Faulkner earned two Pulitzer Prizes and the 1949 Nobel Prize for literature. For a brief period in 1925, he lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. There, fellow writer Sherwood Anderson encouraged Faulkner to write about the people and places he knew, and that is why Faulkner created his fictional country, Yoknapatawpha, which is the setting for most of his works.
