William Faulkner’s later years marked a period of immense literary achievement and recognition. After struggling for many years to establish himself as a significant voice in American literature, his work gained renewed attention following the publication of "The Portable Faulkner" in 1946. This collection played a critical role in reigniting interest in his writing, which ultimately led to the publication of "Intruder in the Dust" in 1948. This novel addressed themes of racial injustice and social realities in the South, solidifying Faulkner's commitment to exploring complex social issues through his unique narrative styles, including stream of consciousness and intricate character development.
