Sell Your William Faulkner Absalom 1st Edition

William Faulkner was a writer and was perhaps best-known for his books that took place in the American South such as The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying and Absalom, Absalom! One of his more controversial novels, Sanctuary, was adapted into two movies, The Story of Temple Drake and Sanctuary. Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1945 and also won two Pulitzers Prizes and a National book award.
