He went back to Oxford and wrote Sartoris 1927 his first work set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. In 1929 he published The Sound and the Fury. The following year he wrote As I Lay Dying. Later that decade he wrote Light in August Absalom Absalom! and The Wild Palms. He also worked as a screenwriter contributing to Howard Hawks's To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep; the former film adapted from a novel by Ernest Hemingway is the only film with contributions by two Nobel laureates.</strong></p><p><strong>Faulkner's renown reached its peak upon the publication of Malcolm Cowley's The Portable Faulkner and his being awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature for "his powerful and unique contribution to the modern American novel."
