Faulkner crafted novels full of unreliable narrators, clashing perspectives, and sentences that stretch over a thousand words. He set his stories in a fictional Mississippi county to interrogate the messy realities of the American South, including its deep racial and historical wounds. His characters’ distortions and emotional outbursts reveal how we all cling to, forget, or reshape the past. By getting readers lost in the tangle of memory and myth, Faulkner asks them to question the very nature of truth.
