A QUOTE, IF I MAY:
Have you ever heard of anyone who drank while he worked? You're thinking of Faulkner. He does sometimes -- and I can tell right in the middle of a page when he's had his first one.
- Ernest Hemingway
I mentioned it earlier in the week, but Mississippians are quite proud to claim William Faulkner. No matter that the lion's share couldn't name a title of any of his work - let alone be expected to actually read. This is kind of how many Texans are with Lonesome Dove.
