The Best of Bad Faulkner: Choice Entries from the Faux Faulkner Contest Paperback - 1991 - 1st Edition
by Dean Faulkner Wells
"As I Lay Dieting". "Abstinence! Abstinence!" "Lite in August". Contestants who entered the Faulkner Write-Alike Contest were encouraged to "pound in fury" at their keyboards to write the best bad Faulkner they could. For those who love good parody and those who love good Faulkner--here is the best of both worlds. Black-and-white caricatures throughout.
