小说家威廉.福克纳 (William Faulkner) 出生
1897925

福克纳一生中曾获得两次普利兹奖,并且获得1949年的诺贝尔文学奖。他曾在1925年间住在路易斯安那州的纽奥良住过一小段日子。在那里,他的写作伙伴薛伍德.安德森 (Sherwood Anderson) 鼓励他要多多撰写他所认识的人们和地方,那也是为什么福克纳会创造出约克纳帕塔瓦郡这个虚构城市的原因,而这个城市也成为福克纳许多作品的背景。

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.
