The case of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Tanzler" REL="nofollow">Carl Tanzler and Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos</A> immediately came to mind when I read Driftglass' excerpts. But there's no way it could have been the inspiration for <I>A Rose for Emily</I>. Faulkner's short story was first published in the April 1930 Saturday Evening Post, while Tanzler's gruesome little love object wasn't discovered until October of 1940.<BR/><BR/>And deliciously lurid as it may be, there's considerable skepticism about that claim of necrophilia.<BR/><BR/>But hey, who knows? Maybe Dr. Tanzler was a Faulkner fan -- a lot of people read the Saturday Evening Post back in those days ...<BR/><BR/>As for you, Driftglass, you wield your verbal snickersnee on Bobo with such grace and artistry you should be awarded both ears <I>and</I> his vestigial tail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-80052293751026008022007-11-15T19:57:00.000-06:002007-11-15T19:57:00.000-06:00Ho.Lee.Kerist.Bravo.The Pulitzer Committee should ...Ho.<BR/>Lee.<BR/>Kerist.<BR/><BR/>Bravo.<BR/><BR/>The Pulitzer Committee should get a clue.joyjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174111764415621043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-39882343289566883932007-11-15T17:34:00.000-06:002007-11-15T17:34:00.000-06:00Driftglass, I think that there's only one mistake ...Driftglass, I think that there's only one mistake in this entire series of posts.<BR/><BR/>You keep using the term "conservative", which is a political category, to describe people who are much more accurately called "authoritarian followers", which is a personality type, not a set of opinions and ultimately unreachable by reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-74782487043794483872007-11-15T11:55:00.000-06:002007-11-15T11:55:00.000-06:00The Reagan Era is when Movement Conservativism beg...The Reagan Era is when Movement Conservativism began its dark metamorphosis from Goldwater conservatism into the chimpanzee-screaming, chest-thumping, feces-flinging, Coulter-esque plutocratic reactionism that has the temerity to call itself conservatism today.Mister Robotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724938709642010624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-24354424110563845132007-11-14T20:50:00.000-06:002007-11-14T20:50:00.000-06:00"Brooks is but pitchcapp'd -- why doth he prance s..."Brooks is but pitchcapp'd -- why doth he prance so, maw?"<BR/><BR/>"Dearie, he is happy for relief of his guilt.

You're as classy an act as can be.<BR/><BR/>Y'know, there actually WAS a real-life case of necrophilia that either served as the framework for 'Emily's', story or life and art imitated each other, down at the very bottom of America. Key West Florida had someone steal the love of his life, (and afterlife, too), from a graveyard there and took her home to stay. The perp even went as far as to stitch in a pocket-sized addition to keep the marriage active and alive in more than name only. (not really something I want to dwell on.)<BR/><BR/>I mention the Key West number because I think it's too easy to lump Bobo in with the other certifiable nuts when what he does isn't passive and simply self-centered. Sure, he's humpin' the decaying corpse of St. Ronnie but his actual, "JOB", is to be a cheerleader for these blackshirted bastids. His name on a column gives the masquerade of evil public legitimacy. What he writes benefits others, more than it benefits him through his paychecque.L.S./M.F.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309061649541432349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-41684175044196542652007-11-14T11:59:00.000-06:002007-11-14T11:59:00.000-06:00Brilliant.
