William Faulkner – 1950, – Stockholm, Sweden – Speech on the Acceptance of the Nobel Prize in Literature
William Faulkner was not only a fantastic writer. He was also a capable speaker, as his remarkable Nobel Prize acceptance speech proves. Delivered at the city hall in Stockholm, Sweden, he emphasized the writer’s duty to help man endure and overcome Cold War fears by lifting his heart.
Years later, Faulkner’s speech and books continue to comfort readers in the present day as humanity contends with a new but familiar set of threats. His novels such as “The Sound And The Fury” and “As I Lay Dying” are still taught in American literature classes.
