The Faulkner-Cowley file

Description:

"This book contains twenty-six unpublished letters from Faulkner, besides an early draft of one of his essays, and Cowley's absorbing story of a deepening friendship based, on both sides, on complete dedication to the striving of the human spirit for an impossible perfection. It serves, as well, to cast a revealing sidelight on the goals, attainments, and prejudices of the gifted generation of writers to which they belong." -- publisher's description.
