Joseph Blotner was a Faulkner scholar and possibly even his friend; currently Blotner is studying Robert Penn Warren (and has already published a bio, I think Random House)

I like some Faulkner work a lot!

I like nearly all Faulkner I've read, which is a lot. At one time I could quote big chunks of THE SOUND AND THE FURY, a great book.
