But Nash did it better, with ducks and shotguns in the mix. About 55 or 60 years ago, I went through a bibliography of William Faulkner works to attempt to find something about the outdoor background of the famous author, and possibly a "quail connection". I didn't find such a connection, so used my reading time perusing other authors. It seemed a waste of time to read the extensive works of a Mississippi writer without birds. I'm not embarrassed to say that I have not yet read a Faulkner work cover to cover.
