I'm pretty mad at the big Oprah bookclub stickers on books by Faulkner, Tolstoy and Toni Morrison, like she just discovered two Nobel Prize Winners and the author of Anna Karenina. There are idiots out there who give her credit for it, too. I'm so glad Oprah rediscovered ANNA KARENINA...like every literature and writing student in America ought to have. Coopting and absorbing great works of literature and promoting them via YOUR bookclub as if Faulkner needs YOUR approval. Faulkner would have hated a touchie-feelie insincere billionairess acting like she's the first one to read "the Sound and the Fury".
