A Fable is a 1954 novel written by the American author William Faulkner. He spent more than a decade and tremendous effort on it, and aspired for it to be "the best work of my life and maybe of my time".^[2] It won the Pulitzer Prize^[3] and the National Book Award.^[4] Historically, it can be seen as a precursor to Joseph Heller's Catch-22.
