What is a Faulknerian?

I didn't know I had been deeply immersed in Faulkner's spirit until I was required to answer to the question by one of my girlfriends of why I'm so pessimistic. I answered, "I'm not pessimistic, but just a Faulknerian," by which I meant we're required to see the whole scene of human experience in transformation, in which each individual is trapped in his own past.
