Other local centennial events include the dedication of a statue of Faulkner on the square in Oxford on his birthday, September 25, and a three-day celebration beginning September 25 in New Albany, 30 miles east of Oxford, that will include storytelling, music and art exhibits, dramatic performances, and a keynote address by Dr. Robert Hamblin of the Center for Faulkner Studies at Southeast Missouri State University.

Y'all, an online magazine concerned with all things Southern, has a few Faulkner-related items in its reading and writing section, but the most curious is undoubtedly the "Wrassling" match between "The General" Robert E. Lee and "Wild Bill" Faulkner.

Author's Notes:
I haven't updated the "What's New" page lately because of the lack of major changes on the site, but that doesn't mean there aren't any recent updates. Check the date at the bottom of each page to find when it was last modified.

Those few changes notwithstanding, this web site's growth has been slow over the past eight months for two main reasons: money, and time. Most of my time has been toward the development of a couple of other web sites, the most significant of which is The Mississippi Writers Page, which is being presented by the University of Mississippi English Department. It is still in an embryonic state, but as it continues to grow, it will feature biographical and critical articles on the hundreds of writers who once lived or now reside in the Magnolia State.
