William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25, 1897. He grew up in nearby Oxford, Mississippi, where his father owned a livery stable. A reluctant student, Faulkner left high school without graduating but devoted himself to “undirected reading,” first in isolation and later under the guidance of a family friend.
