37357NY: Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. N.D. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 358 pages; William Cuthbert Faulkner was an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate from Oxford Mississippi. Faulkner worked in a variety of media; he wrote novels short stories a play poetry essays and screenplays during his career. He is primarily known and acclaimed for his novels and short stories many of which are set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County a setting Faulkner created based on Lafayette County where he spent most of his childhood. Faulkner is considered one of the most important writers of the Southern literature of the United States along with Mark Twain Robert Penn Warren Flannery O'Connor Truman Capote Eudora Welty Thomas Wolfe Harper Lee and Tennessee Williams. Though his work was published as early as 1919 and largely during the 1920s and 1930s Faulkner was relatively unknown until receiving the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature. Two of his works "A Fable" 1954 and his last novel "The Reivers" 1962 both won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Width: 5.25" Height: 8" "The reputation of William Faulkner has been growing so steadily for the last five years that the publication of a new book by him becomes an event of importance in contemporary American literature. Some of the longer stories in 'These Thirteen' have never before been published and Faulkner enthusiasts should turn immediately to 'All the Dead Pilots' and 'Victory' if they wish to trace the latest development of his work. Others of the stories have been published in 'Scribner's Magazine' 'The Forum' 'The American Mercury' and one in the 'Saturday Evening Post.' The stories may be taken to represent various moods of the author over a period of the last two years. There is the macabre quality of 'A Rose for Emily'; a return to the mood of 'The Sound and the Fury' in 'The Evening Sun'; the gift for straight narrative in 'Red Leaves.'
