>> i am here at theuniversity of virginia library with the curator of the special exhibit. she is showing us the exhibit on robert faulkner. >> we are the main gallery of the albert shirley small exhibition. this is a large exhibition surveying the magnificent william faulkner collection we have here at the library. william faulkner was a great american novelist who was born in mississippi and spent the last years of his career in the late 1950s and 1960s at uva. he is known for novels sanctuary and was also a poet and short story writer. it has been quite a long time since our last monumental

faulkner exhibition. it also is the 60th anvergry - n anniversary of his arrival. we have people who visit and tell us about meeting faulkner while here. he was working at his own writi writing here and met with students, faculty, community members, faculty wives, female students from local or nearby women colleges since uva was only men at the time and other groups to talk about his novels, the state of literature and everything else. he also really enjoyed living in virginia.

he had had a dream to learn to fox hunt. he was issued by the university even with the property stamp on the back. when he went on his last trip to oxford, mississippi and passed away and in the jacket was a pipe and pipe cleaners and we e even put the pipe cleaners on display. the collection is so fast it was difficult to decide how to tell the story of faulkner's life time. what we decided to do was look

at the various persona constructed by faulkner or by the circumstances in which he found himself throughout his life and structure the episode around those. there are 13 aspects of his personality displayed. we tried to cover the personal, professional and lesser known. for instance, i don't think many people know that faulkner was a wonderful artist and drew all the way through this life. a lot of people also don't know that he did really interesting work after he won the nobel as a literary ambassador working for the u.s. state department. we tried to pull out unexpected stories and also show the most iconic items in the collection. some materials that demonstrate faulkner's family history are on display and one i find interesting and we placed front and center at the beginning of

the exhibition is from long before faulkner is born. it is receipt from a slave sold by faulkner's grandfather. we thought it was important to point out ow the history was to how faulkner developed as a writer with the issue of race relations in the south and save slavery are central to his work and topics covered with brilliance and care throughout his work. we wanted to put that interesting artifact on display as a symbol of the problem he inherited. one of the most interesting aspects of his life is spending time in hollywood as a screenwriter. he didn't particularly like his time in hollywood. he took the job to make money. he was having a hard time making

ends meet because the writing was difficult. books were not selling as well as they would have if they were more readable. screenwriting worked for him. for a long time he did screen writing work off and on for a couple decades. it -- my favorite item is a fragment of his screen play for the film the big sleep which is considered a masterpiece of film for his time. in one of his essays in the 1950s, faulkner referred to having the position as a white southerner. he took that and said what is this white southern figure faulkner inhabits. anyone who approaches his work sees him engaging with the problem of race and he saw himself as having a challenging position in relation to the african-american community around oxford and members of that community feature in fictional form throughout his work.

the section of the exhibition called white southern looks in particular at how faulkner grappled with questions in the south. faulkner tends to be called upon as a public figure to comment upon integration. he is even asked when broadband in foreign countries, as a southern american, tell us what you think about this issue because issues with integration are being reported all over the world. we have documents that show

faulkner trying to figure out how to determine this own position on integration. what is wonderful about these documents is they show that faulkner found himself sort of stuck between different positions. on the one hand, his view that integration needed to happen put it at odds with a lot in mississippi. he called for a slow gradual move toward integration which put him at odds with the northerners and he thought he had a favor to the south. he is grappling and shifting his perspective over time as an intellectual of his moment. his perspective is unusual and interesting and i found visitors to the exhibition find a lot to thing about in that section.

if you are a faulkner fanatic you will be able to commune with the manuscripts. if you are not a faulkner addict and maybe the trauma with him in high school we want you to understand his biography and come way with a sense of faulkner as the entire person, the whole person, and his ability to sit down and write these masterpieces. so much of his time was spent struggling to make money and care for his family it is remarkable to see what he accomplished. we want people to geta sense of the real amount of information they can find in a literary library. >> here is a look at some books being published this week.
