we talk about faulkie all the time, bro. It's just he was superseded by Wallace

other than in The Sound and The Fury threads Faulkner is very seldom discussed

because there's more relevant literature to be talking about like Pale King???

I would argue that Faulkner is more relevant than ever. His work discusses the issues of race, change in America, desperately clinging to the past, idealizing the past, class, etc. Maybe because most of his novels are set in the deep south most people find it difficult to connect to the story.

who wants to read about a bunch of inbred backwards racists?

>interacting with bait
So desparate

your problem glasses are showing

After The Sound and The Fury
As I Lay Dying
Absalom, Absalom!
What should I read next?

The Bear

Light in August or Go Down, Moses.

depends. Which one of those books did you like the most? My recommendations would be Go Down Moses, or The Wild Palms.

God, wish I looked like that with his vocabulary and talent
smoked all day and drinker
only Question
why’d he lie about his war record

Absalom, Absalom! And As I Lay Dying do as well

maybe he was too ashamed to admit he got turned away. I'll have to read a biography of him to know for certain

US Air Force turned him away for being too short
Canadian Air Force accepted him but he was only in for a few months before the war ended and he never even got his pilot wings let alone flew in combat as he liked to claim

>why’d he lie about his war record

Manlets need cunny too
This was pre-free-internet-porn Days too. So he was really desperate

Why the heck do great writers drink so much? Does it actually help with their writing? Or would every drunkard writer be an even better one if they quit their alcoholism?

he never drank when writing. And alcohol is America's number one past-time, there's a reason why they tried to ban it

But why is it such a staple among famous writers? Joyce, Hemingway, etc, all drank like fish.

so did Pollack and actors like Burton and O’Toole
helps the creative process

Joyce was Irish. Hemingway was American. Both countries have incessant drinking cultures. I'm pretty sure Jane Austen was a teetotaler though

but Faulkner never drank when writing, he would only drink when he was finished as a way to celebrate
