Most scholars and serious readers point to "Faulkner: A Biography" by Joseph Blotner as the definitive, comprehensive work. If you're looking for something that blends life story with sharp critical analysis of his art, "William Faulkner: The Man and the Artist" by Stephen B. Oates is another excellent, highly-regarded choice.
