Web Site Update

Over the past few months, I've been working on improving both the content and the navigability of William Faulkner on the Web. I plan to continue working on the site, adding features, more information, etc., but there remain gaps and holes that have yet to be filled, as well as, I am sure, errors, broken links, etc. Please bear with me as I try to fill such gaps. Everything in this web site is done voluntarily by a single person, so it remains a challenge to find the free time to devote to the web site. Thank you for understanding.
