Author William Faulkner was born 125 years ago today, on 25-September-1897. He received the 1949 Nobel Prize for Literature. I think I first read his work in high school, and have continued to read it ever since. I like to tell kids about the first sentence of The Sound and the Fury.
Faulkner lived in this New Orleans house, in Pirate's Alley near Saint Louis Cathedral when he wrote his first novel, Soldiers' Pay. We visited the book store that now occupies the house in 2014.
