William Faulkner

William Faulkner is the author of my outside reading, As I Lay Dying, so i thought I'd do some research on him. 

Faulkner is known as one of the most influencial American writers of all time. In 1949 he won the nobel prize for literature. He is from Mississippi and a lot of his works take place there. he was also known for having a serious drinking problem. He never drank while he wrote though, just as an escape. he had 2 affairs throughout his life. He is known for his experimental style, diction, and cadence. he writes very grotesque stories too. O'connor is also a fan of him so yeah, i though that was all interesting. so far im liking As I Lay Dying, so we will see how it ends up.
