Faulkner and winter storms
Thanks to everyone for the information on what they read of Faulkner. Steve McQueen was in a movie, The Reivers, from a Faulkner book, which was very funny.
I live north of Seattle and we’ve had quite a time up here the last few days. I am fine and never lost power, but my daughter and grown grandchildren in Seattle are without power or heat now. My granddaughter has two fireplaces and a gas stove, so she should be OK, but my daughter is plenty chilly unless the power went on overnight. The temperature down there is 31º. There were well over a million people without power right after the storm.
There are trees down all over, and they weren’t discriminating on where they fell. One poor guy had ten trees fall on his house. My complex had lots of evergreen branches all over, but no trees that I’ve seen, although I didn’t go out much yesterday, since I didn’t have to.
I’ve been reviewing The Sound and The Fury after 40 years, and it is hard going. I don’t remember that from reading it before, Maybe age has something to do with it? Nah!
