Happy Birthday Mr. Faulkner!


"I decline to accept the end of man."
William Faulkner
Nobel Prize Speech
December 1950


While at Urban High I took a class about Faulkner. I remember getting lost in his books, my understanding of the broader world unfolding. His words sculpt space, voices, lives, places and stories. For years I've wanted to reread those books. Had I known, I would have read them twice.

Youth is wasted on the young.
