The Sound of Faulkner

Expect a few side trips to Yoknapatawpha County, but the main theme of Philip Weinstein’s lecture on William Faulkner will be the writer’s personal life.

Dr. Weinstein is a professor of literature at Swarthmore College and has written four books on Faulkner. Becoming Faulkner is his latest and it focuses on the Nobel Prize winner’s love life, relationship to alcohol and his difficult time in Hollywood.

The talk takes place at the old town hall in Aquinnah on Saturday, Sept, 11 at 5 p.m.
