"Faulkner is finished," declared a famous editor in 1944. Malcolm Cowley disagreed, and vowing to prove Faulkner's worth he sent a letter to Oxford, Mississippi. Thus began a long relationship between a distinguished critic and one of America's greatest but most unapproachable writers. The Faulkner-Cowley file includes their correspondence, together with Cowley's own account of a deepening friendship pledged, on both sides, to integrity and literary perfection.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
