Purportedly, the student was arguing that Faulker once had a run on sentence that went for two pages. (The Sound and The Fury, maybe?) So why couldn't he do the same?

Teachers response: When you have a number 1 seller you can write all the "run on sentences" you desire.

Of course I could be confusing this story with another one. I'm a little slow you know.

I was thinking of that story too -as well as thinking about trying to read Faulkner!

I just remembered that I scored 10 points on a test by identifying a previously unseen bit of Faulknerese! One word clue and style were the give aways.
