OK, I’m back after the week’s hiatus, and I’ve got a backlog of three books to review and some restaurants to write up. But in the meantime, just to remind you I’m here, check out this New York Times profile of the Trinity College sophomore who did the play-by-play on the fifteen-lateral touchdown play this past weekend. Why would I link to this article? Because the kid’s a William Faulkner fan, and this summer read my favorite Faulkner novel (and one of the greatest American novels ever written), Absalom, Absalom!, that’s why.
Back with more in a bit…
Glad to hear the ringing endorsement of Absalom, Absalom!; I finished Sound and the Fury and Light in August in the last month, and I’m looking forward to the next Faulkner piece on the syllabus.
