A third great writer of the 1920s was William Faulkner.
Faulkner wrote about the special problems and ways of life in the American south. His books explored the emotional tension in a society still suffering from the loss of the Civil War 60 years before. Some of Faulkner's best books were The Sound and The Fury, As I Lay Dying and Absalom, Absalom. Like Hemingway, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
