2. As William Faulkner wrote in his book "Requiem for a Nun"

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."


And he was the quintessential Southerner...William Cuthbert Faulkner, also known as Will Faulkner, was an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate from Oxford, Mississippi. Faulkner worked in a variety of written media, including novels, short stories, a play, poetry, essays and screenplays...19 novels, 125 short stories (not including stories that appear exclusively in novels), 20 screenplays (including uncredited rewrites), one play, six collections of poetry as well as assorted letters and essays....wikipedia


I regret that due to my Yankee upbringing and recent immigrant status (family in USA only about 100 years), I have never been able to read anything written by a true Southerner...the only possible exception being Gone With the Wind, and that was after hating it in junior high. You really need to live through a bad marriage to understand Scarlett.
