"Intruding" on the Screen

Hmm. I really liked Intruder in the Dust back when I read it last year. Now Coming Soon reports that it's going to be filmed.

The book's fairly minor as Faulkner goes--a mystery story revolving around a black man wrongly accused of killing a white man--and I found it interesting primarily because of its stream-of-consciousness prose. But it's got some very striking images--such as the young protagonist, his African-American friend and an old woman digging up a grave and finding--

Well.

This might prove interesting.

HOw interesting.
Incidentally, it was made into a film many years ago. A good one I thought. Saw it on British television whilst in Northern Ireland. Great conversation starter with a fellow I lived with.
A blessed T-giving unto you.
