"...often considered the greatest writer of Southern literature." (Wiki)
Nobel Prize for Literature, 1949
I think we read "Barn burning" in first-year English Lit.
Then many years went by before I picked up an old copy of "Go Down,
Moses" ("a 1942 collection of seven related pieces of short fiction... sometimes considered a novel." (Wiki))
Some day I hope to read more.
Crystal quotes at length from a 1956 interview, interesting enough, but
nothing specifically about language.
