One girl created by this author opines "He could do so much for me if he just would," and gets pills filled with talcum powder at a pharmacy. This man created Abner, who ruins a rug and slaps his son Sarty in his short story "Barn Burning," one of many about the Snopes family. In a book by him, Cora Tull judges a family whose father wants a new set of dentures, and whose youngest son, Vardaman, states "My mother is a fish." He also wrote of a Harvard freshman's suicide and Quentin's retarded brother Benjy Compson. For 10 points, name this author who used his Yoknawpatapha County, Mississippi setting for As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury.
