William Faulkner and Mississippi (Mississippi: Power of Place)
produced by Rosemary Moritz, Fat Tuesday Productions (New York, NY: Filmakers Library, 1998), 40 mins
Donna Tartt discusses the qualities of the storyteller, claiming they cannot have very high regard for the truth. Southerners are notorious for being great liars, great boasters, great braggarts. That's other side of being a good storyteller. This is what Faulkner means when he says, we love it and we hate it and we cannot turn our backs upon it. Because we love it for exactly the same reasons that we loathe it.
