During his childhood he grew up reading stories inherited from his grandfather William Clark Falkner, whom he considered one of his greatest inspirations.

1) He decided to put a "u" in his last name, so that it would sound more British.2) He rejected President John F. Kennedy's invitation to the Nobel Prize luncheon as it seemed like a long trip for just one meal. 3) His speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize is one of the most emotional and significant according to a large number of experts, since he talks about him as a person and many of his stories that have led him to be there.

His writing began with short works until He became a screenwriter for more than fifty Hollywood films during the Great Depression. He has a total of almost 300 works, including short stories, novels and film directions.
