He sometimes was seen in his airman's uniform, and he affected English manners. His pose amused some of his townsmen, and joking behind his back, they called him \"The Count\" and \"Count No 'Count.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this period Ben Wasson met Faulkner at the University of Mississippi, where both were students. Their interest in art and literature drew them together. Later Wasson became Faulkner's first literary agent, as well as an adviser and sounding board. In New York Wasson edited a Faulkner manuscript into a readable length. It was published as \u003ci\u003eSartoris\u003c\/i\u003e. Also, Wasson helped Faulkner to place \u003ci\u003eThe Sound and the Fury\u003c\/i\u003e with a new York publisher. Their friendship lasted for more than thirty years as their paths crossed and recrossed in New York, Hollywood, and Mississippi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eCount No 'Count\u003c\/i\u003e Wasson muses over this long and close relationship in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA touching memoir of Faulkner, written by his first literary agent and one of his closest friends\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 206\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 1983\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426618523826,"sku":"9781578068791","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/2879d45586d47858b31408bd68794ee7.webp?v=1778516243","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/count-no-count-flashbacks-to-faulkner-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
