I am reading this bio of William Faulkner and am thoroughly enjoying it. The mood to read this book came to me after driving thru Faulkner Country last week as Freddy and I drove to Little Rock and back. We drove thru New Albany, where he was born. We see a sign for Ripley, where you will find the statue of the Old Colonel, Faulkner's great grandfather and a major inspiration. We see the sign for Byhalia where he died in 1962. It's haunting.

You cannot get enough of Faulkner. He is a legend.
