About the Book: Soldiers Pay
Soldiers Pay is the first novel by American Nobel-Prize winner William Faulkner.
It was during the summer of 1925, when he was working in New Orleans, that
Faulkner met Sherwood Anderson and was encouraged by him to write a novel.
Unlike his later books this post-war story of a wounded, helpless and dying
officer returning home to his father and his fickle sweetheart is set in
Georgia, but some of Faulkners feeling for the South and many of his
character-types are already foreshadowed.
