Faulkner House Books occupies one of the most significant literary addresses in America: the French Quarter building on Pirate's Alley where William Faulkner lived and wrote his first novel, Soldiers' Pay, in 1926. Since 1990, this intimate space has served as both a bookstore and a literary shrine, offering rare and collectible volumes with a particular emphasis on Southern literature and first editions. The store's cramped quarters, tucked beside St. Louis Cathedral, are filled with treasures that draw collectors and literary pilgrims from around the world. The annual Words & Music literary festival, which Faulkner House helps organize, is one of the most celebrated literary events in the South.
