William Faulkner’s ten standalone novels span from his debut Soldiers’ Pay (1926) to the posthumously published Flags in the Dust (1973). These books sit outside his major Yoknapatawpha sequences, though some share the Mississippi setting.
The Unvanquished (1938) follows the Sartoris family during the Civil War, while Pylon (1935) moves to New Orleans for a story about barnstorming pilots. A Fable (1954), set during World War I, won the Pulitzer Prize, and The Reivers (1962), Faulkner’s last completed novel, won a second Pulitzer for its comic tale of a stolen car and a road trip through early 1900s Mississippi.
