William Faulkner used adjectives like shadowdabbled, Augusttremulous, and others that can only be described as, well, Faulknerian. Grant and Martha trade theories about why the great writer chose them. The University of Virginia has an online audio archive of Faulkner, recorded during his tenure as that school's Writer-in-Residence. Also, check out this splendid 1956 Paris Review interview with Faulkner about the art of writing.This is part of a complete episode.
