Exhaustive exhibit at UVA shows the full life of the Southern author
by Cara Salpini
William Faulkner served as UVA’s first writer-in-residence from 1957 to 1959 and then as a lecturer in American literature from 1960 until his death in 1962. He bequeathed the majority of his papers to the University’s library, creating the largest Faulkner archive in the world. To mark the 60th anniversary of Faulkner’s arrival on Grounds, UVA Special Collections curator Molly Schwartzburg created the library’s current exhibit, “Faulkner: Life and Works,” arranging manuscripts and artifacts into 13 sections that show the various aspects of Faulkner’s life, from “Schoolboy” to “Screenwriter” to, after winning the Nobel Prize in 1950, “Literary Diplomat.” The exhibit, housed in the main gallery of UVA’s Harrison Institute and Small Special Collections Library, runs through July 7. For those who can’t make it to Grounds, here’s a look at some notable items on display.

I read many of his works in high school and even put new binders on some them (still have). One fine Fall day, as I was leaving the Phi Sig house to go to class, I saw him walking toward me and was so flabbergasted that I could not say anything to him. I turned around and his pipe was fuming as he walked away from me.

My favorite Faulkner story is that while at UVA Law Faulkner was living with his daughter, if memory serve me correctly from over 50 years ago, and President Kennedy invited Faulkner, as well as other Nobel or Other Living Literary Prize Winners to the White House for dinner. Faulkner declined, stating that it was too far to just go to a dinner!
