William Faulkner
(And His Greatest Work?)

William Faulkner

Some people have dismissed caricature as a portrait where you make the nose too big. That may or may not be true of this pencil rendering of the Nobel Prize winning author, William Faulkner.

Nevertheless, perhaps we can at least write about Bill's (as he was called) greatest work.

And what was that? you ask

The Sound and the Fury?

No, not that one.

As I Lay Dying?

Nope, not that one either.

Light in August?

No, not that.

Absalom! Absolom!?

No, sorry. What we mean is:

THE LAND OF THE
PHARAOHS

Ha? (To quote Shakespeare.)

The Land of the Pharaohs?

Yes. The Land of the Pharaohs.

But we just looked up Bill's bibliography on the Fount of All Knowledge. He never wrote a novel of that name.

Well, we didn't actually say it was a novel. Or even a short story.
