Description
"This essay focuses on The Double Dealer, the literary journal that the New York Times called 'the heart and backbone of the Quarter.' The offices and pages of the journal provided the stage for bohemian self-fashioning and community building... The lively, engaging, frustrating, and often offensive 'talk talk talk' (in Faulkner's words) that circulated between Double Dealer publications and the extended dialogues of Faulkners roman à clef, his apprentice novel Mosquitoes (1927), reveal the gendered, racial, socioeconomic, regional, national and temporal fault lines at the base of this Southern bohemia."
