Writing on Wednesday (2)

Read the following question and write a response, that's it!

IF YOU COULD MEET ANY WRITER (ALIVE OR DECEASED), WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHAT WOULD YOU DISCUSS?

My Answer: If I could meet any writer, I would definitely choose the late, great William Faulkner. The man was a literary genius and his works are by far the most unique pieces of literature I have ever read. I would love to ask him to explain the stream-of-consciousness method he used to write The Sound of Fury and As I Lay Dying. I'm amazed every time I read  these two books - only the most brilliant of writers could have created works with such imaginative power & psychological depth.

The Sound and the Fury (Vintage Paperback Edition)  As I Lay Dying (Vintage Paperback Edition)

("Barn Burning" & "A Rose for Emily")
