Random shoutout to another Oxford literary legend, Larry Brown. Go check out his new sculpture by Bill Beckwith in Morgan Family Park— the former location of Oxford’s Fire Station No. 1, where Brown served as a firefighter for 17 years before pursuing his writing career full-time. Beckwith also created the sculpture of William Faulkner on a bench in front of Oxford’s City Hall.

Rowan Oak’s central AC has been restored today!❄️

It’s beyond coincidence that on this day in 1962, Mrs. Faulkner installed this AC unit in her room (the day after William Faulkner’s funeral). Her husband disliked air conditioning and said that it was “doing away with the weather.” 🙃🥵
