In 1957 and 1958 William Faulkner was Writer-in-Residence at the University of Virginia. During that time he held thirty-seven conferences and answered over two thousand questions on a wide range of concerns, from exegetic problems in his novels to the role of the writer in modern society. Almost every word was recorded on tape, and the result is the classic Faulkner in the University, first published in 1959 and now available in this paperback edition, enhanced by an engaging, behind-the-scenes introduction by National Book Award winner Douglas Day, who as a graduate student at the time had the opportunity to observe and record Faulkner both in and out of the classroom.
