William Faulkner is the greatest American writer, and it really isn't close.

“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” Ernest Hemingway

CLARK GABLE: (being introduced to Faulkner at a Hollywood party) Tell me Mr. Faulkner, do you write?

FAULKNER: Yes I do.
(Long pause while Faulkner smokes his pipe)
Tell me Mr. Gable, what do you do?

I have always liked Faulkner's work. He was a drunk's drunk.

I enjoy Faulkner but Twain is easily the greatest American writer and most influential
