best books by william faulkner image
Stefani P
I need to find an online version and need it today. I have the book for school, but we just moved and it's still packed and I have NO idea which box it is in. I checked over twenty sites and can't find a single one that even has William Faulkner listed as an author, let alone the title of the book. Please help! Thank you!

I don't believe you can. Faulkner's work is still under copyright. I googled it for you "try: As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner" and there is a site that offers information about the book. Hope that helps.

Does William Faulkner have any books not in the south?
John S
Does William Faulker have any books that aren't set in the deep south? I really want to read William Faulkner but I can't get into any of his books. Can you recommend me a good one to start with or one that isn't that hard to read?
Answer
Nearly all of William Faulkner's Mature works are about the South. Specifically, Faulkner writes about the inhabitants of an imaginary county called "Yoknapatawpha. Not all these stories take place in the South, but their central characters are all Southerners from Yoknapatawpha."
Nearly all his stories deal with various generations of families from Yoknapatawpha. When, for instance, during WWII, someone from Yoknapatawpha ends up leaving the south, Faulkner describes his story as it takes place in france. Similarly, in The Sound and The Fury, one of the five sections takes place at Harvard, following the story of the son of one of the Yoknapatawpha families.
Faulkner was heavily influenced by Charles Darwin, thus his main interest as a writer was to explore the way in which people lived and interacted and made decisions, as if humans were animals, neither good nor evil, but subject to natural necessities and inclinations. He focused on analyzing southern culture, because he lived there, and he was especially interested in the animal-like way in which the southern poor lived, and the huge disparity in living styles of southerners, as a sort of evolutionary process that made the less fit poor and miserable.
