Extract
The Thirty-first Annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference sponsored by the University of Mississippi in Oxford took place July 25–29, 2004, with more than two hundred of the author’s admirers from around the world in attendance. Eight presentations at the conference are collected as essays in this volume. Brief mention is made here of other conference activities.
Activities began on Sunday with a reception at the University Museums and two lectures, followed by a buffet supper at historic Memory House. That evening, Oxford Mayor Richard Howorth welcomed participants to the conference, as did Joseph R. Urgo, chair of the University English Department, who also presented the Frances Bell McCool Faulkner Dissertation Fellowship to the first recipient, Taylor Hagood, a doctoral candidate in English from Ripley, Mississippi. The fellowship, donated by alumnus Campbell McCool in memory of his mother, will be awarded biennially to a promising young Faulkner scholar at the University. Charles Reagan Wilson, director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, presented the eighteenth annual Eudora Welty Awards in Creative Writing. Nyssa Perryman, Emma Richardson’s student at the Mississippi School of Math and Science in Columbus, won first prize, $500, for her story “Dixon Gray.” Joseph Noel, Mary Thompson’s student at Lee Academy in Clarksdale, won second prize, $250, for his poem “Triumph.” Frances Patterson of Tupelo, a member of the Center Advisory Committee, established and endowed the awards, which are selected through a competition held in high schools throughout Mississippi. Donald M. Kartiganer, director of the conference, introduced David Sheffield, who read the winning entry—“As I Lay Kvetching”—of the fifteenth annual Faux Faulkner Contest, sponsored by Hemispheres magazine of United Airlines, the University of Mississippi, and the Yoknapatawpha Press. Then, the singer/songwriter group Reckon Crew performed its adaptation of Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying.
