Cleanth Brooks' study of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County arrived, but as yet no Team of Rivals. Most frustrating. Anyway, I found myself leafing through this handsome first edition and feeling myself transported back in time.

That's an excellent book. Don't lend it out. It'll never come back.
ReplyDeleteI don't plan to let the book out of my sight, rick. Any thoughts on Stephen Oates' The Man and the Artist?
ReplyDeleteOates' book is what I would call a "dramatized" biography. In my opinion you can't go wrong with Joel Williamson's "William Faulkner and Southern History."
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I responded to your email of earlier in the week but fear something went awry.
Thanks for the reference, rick.
