Drawing from his deep Mississippi roots, he pioneered stream-of-consciousness narration to explore the complex inner lives of his characters. Faulkner’s bold experiments with perspective and time, masterfully displayed in As I Lay Dying, revolutionized the modern novel and cemented his legacy as a titan of twentieth-century fiction.
