From Voltaire's Southern Gothic Corner....

" On a summer evening some years ago,
two of the South's most celebrated
writers, William Faulkner and Katherine
Anne Porter, were dining together
at a plush restaurant in Paris.
Everything had been laid out to
perfection; a splendid meal had been
consumed, a bottle of fine Burgundy
emptied, and thimble-sized glasses
of an expensive Liqueur drained. The
Maitre D' and and entourage of waiters
hovered close by, ready to satisfy
any final whim. 'back home the
Butterbeans are in, 'said Faulkner,
peering into the distance, 'the
speckled ones.' Miss Porter fiddled
with her glass and stared into space.
'Blackberries,' she said wistfully."
