Papers : chiefly letters of William Faulkner to Joan Williams, 1949-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32136375

Letters and telegrams from Faulkner to Williams discuss their individual literary work and collaboration on "Requiem For a Nun," Williams's efforts to establish herself in a literary career, and personal matters regarding their relationship. Of interest are his critiques of her writing and reflections on his own. There are brief references to his stay in Hollywood, the Nobel Prize, work on "A Fable," and integration at the University of Alabama. With three of the letters are draft scenes from "Requiem, " and a fourth contains a poem. There are also two photographs of Faulkner, pencil sketches by him, and one letter each from Saxe Commins, Robert K. Haas, and Robert Newton Linscott.
