Beginning with his New Republic review of The Hamlet in 1940 and reaching a peak with his seminal 1945 essay 'William Faulkner's Legend of the South' in the Sewanee Review Cowley was instrumental in establishing the critical reputation of Faulkner as one of the great modern American writers. 'Almost every critic dreams of discovering some great work that has been neglected by other critics. Some day might he come upon an author whose reputation is less than his achievement and in fact is scandalously out of proportion with it so that other voices will be added to the critic’s voice in a swelling chorus as soon as he has made the discovery That is the dream. At least once in my critical career I had the good luck to find it realized.' Malcolm Cowley in the introduction. Viking hardcover

With the outbreak of World War I he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force but did not serve in combat. Returning to Oxford he attended the University of Mississippi for three semesters before dropping out. He moved to New Orleans where he wrote his first novel Soldiers' Pay 1925. He went back to Oxford and wrote Sartoris 1927 his first work set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. In 1929 he published The Sound and the Fury. The following year he wrote As I Lay Dying. Later that decade he wrote Light in August Absalom Absalom! and The Wild Palms.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS PULITZER-PRIZE WINNING NOVEL THE AUTHOR’S LAST PUBLISHED WORK AS WELL AS BEING TRULY ONE OF HIS BEST NOVELS AND THE WINNER OF HIS SECOND PULITZER. This novel made Faulkner one of only a tiny handful of authors to be awarded the Pulitzer more then once. Unlike many of his earlier works it is a more straight forward narration and eschews the complicated literary techniques that were his earlier calling-card for many readers this contributes to it being one of his best works. It is also a much lighter and picaresque story than people typically associate with William Faulkner being a humorous coming-of-age story involving horse smuggling a brothel and a racehorse!
