Weinstein’s Faulkner study receives “Best Book” award
The Society for the Study of Southern Literature (SSSL) has chosen Becoming Faulkner by Philip Weinstein, the Alexander Griswold Cummins Professor of English Literature, as the best book on Southern literature written in 2010. He will receive the Hugh Holman Award from SSSL in March. “It was shockingly good news,” Weinstein says. “Totally unexpected and totally appreciated.” The book was published by Oxford University Press.
