One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can’t eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours — all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.
William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist

Cool lineup of literary villains in a LitHub March Madness sudden death tournament.
Sure, you can't include them all, but what about #Faulkner??? Flem Snopes of The Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion), Buck Hipps of The Hamlet, Thomas Sutpen of Absalom, Absalom!? And most of all, Jason Compson of The Sound and the Fury!
What other literary villains would you add?
@jeffreyinsko.bsky.social @mattseybold.bsky.social @ashleyrattner.bsky.social @bginchi.bsky.social any of you have recommendations on people currently doing interesting work with Absalom, Absalom? Michael Gorra’s The Saddest Words is a start…but what else? #Faulkner #Yoknapataphwa

Today, The Sound and the Fury goes into the public domain. I find it hauntingly moving and often beautiful, esp the 1st part. I published 2 articles about it & love teaching it, and yet, it saddens me that I can’t recommend it without prep (& handouts).

started five new #wikipedia articles in the past week, most of them for the #Diedin2024 editathon at @WikiWomeninRed. First up: Ann J.

92% of Black women voted for Harris.
47% of White women did.
When I read this statistic, I can't help but think of the strength, compassion, and intelligence of Dilsey and the weakness, malevolence, and horror of Mrs. Compson.

Allen Kenner*innen und Liebhaber*innen von William Faulkner sei die "Lange Nacht über William Faulkner" (2:48 Std.) vom Deutschlandfunk Kultur empfohlen! (Die Lange Nacht ist ohnehin eine der besten Sendereihen im deutschen Radio).

#Closereading of the day: “I just want these away from our kids,” he said. “We’re trying to prevent students from being exposed to books that are absolutely raw pornography.” Exactly how is this person defining the difference between "pornography" and "absolutely raw pornography"? Is #Ishmael sleeping with #Queequeg pornography, but #Quentin's imaginings with #Caddy absolutely raw pornography? #Melville, #Faulkner, #litstudies https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/18/school-librarians-jailed-banned-books/
