Chekhov's Mistress
Faulkner on Don Quixote
by Bud Parr
From the Paris Review’s 1956 Interview with William Faulkner (not yet available on-line):
INTERVIEWER: Do you read your contemporaries?
Faulkner: No, the books I read are the ones I knew and loved when I was a young man and to which I return as you do old friends: the Old Testament, Dickens, Conrad, Cervantes – Don Quixote. I read that every year, as some do the Bible…
Interviewer: What about your favorite characters?
Faulkner: My favorite characters are…Don Quixote, and Sancho of course.
