Faulkner fun fact

Did you know that....
Faulkner attempted to enlist in the US military during World War I but was turned down because, at under 5'6 he was too short.


I thought that this fact was funny, but also interesting
He wrote his novels and essays about war - but actually never experienced it himself firsthand.

    Did you know that Faulkner strongly believed that alcohol fueled his "creative juices" while writing?
