Suicide Prevention Charity
Weβre the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a suicide prevention charity on a mission to help people end their misery, not their lives.
On this day in 1910, Quentin Compson drowned in the odour of honeysuckle after leaping into the Charles River.
While Quentin's tragedy is fiction, over 700,000 people die by suicide each year. Consider donating to CALM and other mental health charities.

If Absalom! was published today, Faulkner would have to add a content note decrying Sutpen's actions because heaven forbid readers think critically about the work they're encountering. Hypersensitivity towards "offence" in culture and the academy is excruciatingly infantilising.

As I Lay Dying. One of the greatest novels.
William Faulkner said he wrote the novel from midnight to 4:00 a.m. within six weeks. He claimed not having ever changed a word of it.

The title for Seth Haverkampβs βLight in Augustβ comes from the William Faulkner novel of the same name. Haverkamp has been exceedingly interested in creating backgrounds with more depth and a sense of wonder.
