For a long time, Oxford residents seemed to regard Faulkner as a kind of harmless eccentric - one nickname he was known by was “the Count” because of his apparent haughtiness. Later, the nickname expanded to “Count No-Count,” alluding to his apparent shiftlessness. When he began writing the great novels, most Oxford residents barely noticed - but at least one novel did pique their interest as well as their ire.

In a word, yes. While in Hollywood, Faulkner started a relationship with Meta Carpenter, a secretary for his friend and colleague Howard Hawks, with whom Faulkner usually worked. She was a native of Mississippi, and in fact she had met Faulkner many years before while passing through Oxford. Their relationship lasted for nearly twenty years. Later, Faulkner also had an affair with Joan Williams, a young writer whom he considered a prot?g?.

It has become something of a trend to discover some ironic fault or failing among geniuses, perhaps the most common of which is Albert Einstein's trouble with algebra. Faulkner, too, exhibits a few such ironic shortcomings. For instance, he never graduated high school - his final months of high school were mainly for athletics (he was quarterback of his high school football team). To my knowledge, however, he never "failed" English.

It was once more or less assumed that “Yoknapatawpha” was a word coined by Faulkner, but more recently, scholars have noted that the word apparently comes from Chickasaw words meaning “split land.” According to Faulkner, the word means “slow water running through the flatland.” The Yocona River - an actual river in Lafayette County, Mississippi, where Faulkner lived-is an abridged form of “Yoknapatawpha.

The most prestigious awards, of course, are the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he received for the year 1949 (but which he did not actually receive until 1950), and the two Pulitzer Prizes for A Fable and The Reivers. In addition, he won numerous other awards, especially late in his career. Several of his short stories won awards, such as the O. Henry Short Story Prize.

A great deal. Much of Faulkner’s own family history makes its way into the fiction, just as places and events in his fiction seem patterned on real-life places and events in Oxford. The characters of Col. John Sartoris and Thomas Sutpen, for example, are based in part on Faulkner’s great-grandfather and namesake, William Clark Falkner. Like Sutpen, William Clark Falkner ran away from home at the age of fourteen with the intent of making his fortune.

Faulkner bought the house in 1930, but the history of the house dates back to the early history of Oxford, when it was built by Robert Shegogg around 1848. The architecture of the house was not unique in Oxford; several houses built from the same design are in fact still standing in Oxford today. When Faulkner bought the house, it was virtually dilapidated; Faulkner continued to renovate the house for years afterward.

When he was born, William Faulkner’s last name was “Falkner”; at some point, however, he changed its spelling to “Faulkner.” Several stories account for the change - one claims that it was a typographical error on publication of one of his early works, but the more likely story seems to be that he spelled it “Faulkner” when he joined the Royal Air Force in Canada during World War I, after having been rejected from the U.S. Army because of his size.

Galveston newspapers reported a tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico, but it was not expected to land in Galveston. Obviously the reports were not as up-to-the-minute as they are today. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Weather Bureau, Daily Journal for September 1900, Isaac Cline received the order to hoist the storm warning flag at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, September 7th; however, many people did not expect the storm to be as severe as it was.

Wherever they want to! And that is the truth. We have only graduated one class, but their number one choice was where they ended up. Some of them are now working as faculty, others in busy community programs and one in a rural western community as the emergency medical services director."
