Faulkner Plans to Spend Winter Here

William Faulkner, who in his last public appearance at the University of Virginia last May indicated he would like to settle here permanently, will live in Charlottesville this winter.

Paul D. Summers Jr., son-in-law of the Nobel prize-winning author, said Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner plan to stay here "at least until spring."

Faulkner will leave for Princeton, N.J., early next week where he will conduct a seminar for senior students at Princeton University. He will return to Charlottesville Dec. 1.

Faulkner was writer-in-residence at the University for two semesters. At his last public appearance, he told an audience in Rouss Hall:

"Every individual is the sum total of his past. I leave something here – where Faulkner was happy – and I'll take with me something of Albemarle County. I will come back from time to time so those two separates can be joined again."
