Welcome, Melinda. Thanks for the introduction.

Me too.
>RE Faulkner:

I think that you may have something with the Faulkner thing. JDS would have
most definitely been aware of old William, and the idea that good writers
being destroyed by Hollywood is something that was rampant in those days.
For good writers were going to Hollywood and selling out. W. Somerset
Maugham is another example. Big names, no?
It doesn't happen so much today, though I wonder if that's more because
Hollywood has lost all concept of good taste. A monkey, for example, must
have written "The Patriot". I can think of no other explanation for its
awkwardness.
I can think of someone on this list, if he's still around, who is a big
Faulkner fan. rev. bob? Care to step in?
Anyway, welcome. Pull out a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and let's talk.
Regards,
Cecilia.
