    Hear the name William Faulkner and you think of his work. Short stories like “Barn Burning” or long ones like “The Bear,” such novels as The Sound and the Fury or Absalom, Absalom! The tangled prose, those thorny truths. And his greatest creation, a small world as real to us as the dirt under our feet, the mythical Yoknapatawpha County. Yet the work wasn’t enough. It never is.

    One of the saddest times of my life was the month Tummywumps, my ginger tabby, went missing. I’d left a window open overnight, and while I dozed, she sliced a hole in the screen and stole away like a jewel thief. She was gone … and I was heartbroken. Tummywumps had always seemed happy, or at least indifferent. Like abstract art, the emotional state of a cat is subject to interpretation. Whatever my pet felt about our relationship, she left me that night.
