YA
This detailed biography of the Nobel Prize–winning author--filled with captioned photographs--tracks Faulkner from his childhood and poetry-writing days to his Hollywood years and time as a university writer-in-residence. Hamblin skillfully draws a parallel between Faulkner's life and literary achievements and his novels' dominant theme of endurance. An accessible resource for both literature enthusiasts and report writers. Timeline. Bib., ind.

This biography of the Pulitzer Prize–winning author details her childhood, early adult years dabbling in art and photography, and later years as poet, writer, and professor. Brown relies greatly on Welty's own writing, extending the narrative with numerous quotes; family photos (some poorly reproduced) enhance the presentation. Well researched and quite readable, this is a good introduction to the woman and her work. Timeline. Bib., ind.
