In 1924, before writing The Sound and the Fury or As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner worked on his first book in New Orleans, Louisiana. He roomed up with artist William Spratling in a yellow four-story house on Pirate Alley. The William Faulkner House is one of the city’s most famous literary structures.
Faulkner House was restored by a couple who lives above the first floor of a bookstore. The fourth floor was turned into a guest room in which numerous well-known writers have laid their heads. Actors including Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Patricia Arquette, Sharon Stone, Jeremy Irons, and Cicely Tyson have also visited the house.
