William Fanlkner, Nobel literature prize winner, was one of the most influential modern writers in America in the 20th century. He dramatically displayed pains experienced in the transformation in the south of America and originally revealed the racial trauma, historic trauma and spirit trauma of peoples inner hearts which can not be cured.
