   "...often considered the greatest writer of Southern literature." (Wiki)   
   Nobel Prize for Literature, 1949   
      
   I think we read "Barn burning" in first-year English Lit.   
   Then many years went by before I picked up an old copy of "Go Down,   
   Moses" ("a 1942 collection of seven related pieces of short fiction...   
   sometimes considered a novel." (Wiki))   
   Some day I hope to read more.   
      
   Crystal quotes at length from a 1956 interview, interesting enough, but   
   nothing specifically about language.
