i've been in the archive again seeing what all Faulkner had to say about what not. race relations (e.g. brown vs board of educ,) influences, character, and such. the most interesting bits, to me, are probably when Faulkner ends up touching on a lot of great authors. reading and hearing him touch briefly on Wolfe/Kerouac/Warren/Hemingway/Salinger/Joyce/Mann has been really cool. i wish there were more recordings of those guys or Twain or Alexander Graham Bell calling Thomas Edison and getting the first voice mail.
anyway, i just ran across one where he said something about Hemingway and Fitzgerald in an answer to a lady's question. it reminded me of MC's disdain for
The Old Man and the Sea.http://faulkner.lib.virginia.edu/res...n&q=fitzgerald
