What awards did Faulkner receive for his writing?
The most prestigious awards, of course, are the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he received for the year 1949 (but which he did not actually receive until 1950), and the two Pulitzer Prizes for A Fable and The Reivers. In addition, he won numerous other awards, especially late in his career. Several of his short stories won awards, such as the O. Henry Short Story Prize.
