After visiting Faulkner’s home (Rowan Oak) in Mississippi, I read “Old Man”.
A few years earlier, I had seen the Hallmark Hall Of Fame movie version of “old Man”.
Now I completely understand that a movie and the book will never be the same thing - but my problem was that I couldn’t get into to rhytm of reading Faulkner. His writing style just wan’t for me.
He created a diction like no other.
