#Closereading of the day: “I just want these away from our kids,” he said. “We’re trying to prevent students from being exposed to books that are absolutely raw pornography.” Exactly how is this person defining the difference between "pornography" and "absolutely raw pornography"? Is #Ishmael sleeping with #Queequeg pornography, but #Quentin's imaginings with #Caddy absolutely raw pornography? #Melville, #Faulkner, #litstudies https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/18/school-librarians-jailed-banned-books/

"The plot for A Fable was outlined in pencil and ink across two of the walls. There was something deeply Faulknerian about this: a screenwriter’s preoccupation with plot coupled with a modernist’s urge to transgress. Write a detailed outline, sure, but on the wall, like a convict scrawling on the wall of his cell." https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2023/03/23/at-william-faulkners-house/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Lit%20Hub%20Daily:%20March%2024%2C%202023&utm_term=lithub_master_list

What am I reading? #quote #faulkner

An #Introduction:

#Poet and #Novelist who reads #Philosophy and #Classics for fun

I also love 20th century #literature like #Joyce, #Faulkner, #Pynchon, and #DeLillo

Lover of all kinds of #music, but particularly classic #punk, #hardcore and #jazz these days

Used to love #movies, but now I have #kids. So they run the TV lol

Most of my projects (#CreativeWriting, #Film, #Music) are all on my website. Check it out here if you’d like: https://michaelanthonyadamsjr.com

> He loves Montana so!" To which Faulkner, of course, answered (maybe I only dreamed it; it all seems so pat), "To write well about some place you've got to hate it"; a pause, and then, "The way a man hates his own wife."

> Unless he bite the hand that feeds him #TheWriter cannot live; and this those who would prefer him dead (so they can erect statues for him) can never understand. I remember #Faulkner's going once, rather improbably, to #Missoula, #Montana, and getting engaged in conversation with a lady Montanan who cried out at one point, "What can't So-and-so write a novel that would do for this part of the world what you've done for #Mississippi?
