Faulkner on Anderson

Sherwood Anderson lived in Chicago in a rooming house with several other writers attempting to publish their books - William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Theodore Dreiser, John Steinbeck, Gertrude Stein…

He helped Hemingway and Faulkner publish their first books.

William Faulkner reflects on the most important

thing Anderson taught him about being a writer:

"I learned that, to be a writer, one has first got to

be what he is, what he was born; that to be an

American and a writer, one does not necessarily

have to pay lip-service to any conventional

American image… You had only to remember

what you were….

"Sherwood Anderson: "America ain’t cemented

and plastered yet. They’re still building it. That’s

why a man with ink in his veins not only still can

but sometimes has still got to keep on moving

around in it, keeping moving around and

listening and looking and learning… All America

asks is to look at it and listen to it and understand

it if you can. Only the understanding ain’t

important either: the important thing is to believe

in it even if you don’t understand it, and then try

to tell it, put it down. It won’t ever be quite right,

but there is always next time; there’s always

more ink and paper, and something else to try to

understand and tell. And that one probably wont

be exactly right either, but there is a next time to

that one, too."

"Because tomorrow America is

going to be something different,

something more and new to watch

and listen to and try to

understand; and, even if you can’t

understand, believe."

--Sherwood Anderson, ca 1933
