and who didn't think much of his -- of billy when billy was young. that's what they called him in the family. he said even after -- even, you know, well on into the 1930s. he says, you know, i don't think very much of billy's books. i don't read him much. i guess he makes money off them writing those dirty books for yankees. that is how he was regarded by a lot of proper mississippians. he's writing dirty books for yankees. you know, to the degree the publishing industry was in new york, they were, in that sense, being published by yankees, certainly. he's wrote books that did spill secrets. sometimes, he exaggerated things. some college libraries of the south, in the 1930s, didn't want to have his books. now, this -- this is a kind of -- this is a thing that often happens to writers from groups that are perceived as -- as marginalized. and the peculiar thing here is faulkner writes as a member of the dominant class, white southerners, that is, nevertheless, marginalized within u.s. culture, as a whole. and he gets accused of saying things -- saying
