	Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha, by Don H. Doyle. Introduction.
		Faulkner had the freedom to take the university out of his fictional Jefferson, probably because it seemed atypical of the southern town life he was depicting.
		When Faulkner was in grade school during the fiftieth anniversary of the Civil War, his teacher spent hours on the local history of the Civil War, while down at the courthouse aging veterans told their own war stories, while young Bill Falkner sat for hours and listened enraptured.

		The master of a rhetorical, highly symbolic style, Faulkner was also a brilliant literary technician, making frequent use of convoluted time sequences and of the stream of consciousness technique.

	little blue light - William Faulkner
		Faulkner was the eldest son of an established old southern family in Oxford, Mississippi and was raised in the genteel manner (riding pony and all) aimed to produce a fine southern gentleman.
		Faulkner's prose is often dense and complex but he manages to provide each character's narratives with a voice that possesses a unique rhythm and vivid psychological portrait of the character's concerns and biases.
		Faulkner made extensive use of the stream of conscious technique, a pure steam of words, apparently formless, but calculated to present a more intimate and vital depiction of characters and themes in a novel.

	Will Oprah's Book Club really turn these pages? \| csmonitor.com
		Considering the years Faulkner spent working the night shift in a power plant (where he wrote "As I Lay Dying") and his disastrous stint as a postmaster who was prone to throwing out the mail, it seems unfair that he's missed out on his runaway bestsellerdom.
		Even after he was established, Faulkner still had to moonlight as a Hollywood screenwriter, since his head-on confrontation of the legacy of slavery and the South's defeat in the Civil War led to some shocking stuff.
		Faulkner called it a "tour de force," and it's both deftly written and mordantly funny, but there's a relentlessly mean undertow sucking at a reader's consciousness as well.

	CliffsNotes::The Sound and the Fury:Book Summary and Study Guide
		(Faulkner was very careful to make the date coincide with the actual date of Easter in that particular year.) Throughout this section, the dating is easy since each scene is identified by the presence of Luster as Benjy's attendant and by Luster's searching for a lost quarter as they wander about the Compson premises.
		In the appendix to Malcolm Cowley's The Portable Faulkner and also in the Norton critical edition of the novel, Faulkner wrote that Luster was fourteen years old and that Luster was capable of handling an idiot who was twice his age.
		We must therefore assume that Faulkner was in error in assigning Luster's age as fourteen.

		Faulkner’s association with the group that gathered at the Hotel Algonquin suggests that, whatever his dissatisfactions with his first two novels, Faulkner continued to appreciate sophisticated wit in conversation.
		Faulkner’s characters respond to many of their problems not by telling boisterous stories that make humor out of hardships but by contemplating their frustrations with despair and creating private fantasy worlds in the manner
