Hi Terry,
I've asked this question three times before but it got lost while the board was in transit.

Please, please, please answer my question. )

I have been wondering if the names of Francine's family members "Uncle Murray" and "Benjamin" (mentioned in volume 2?) is a reference/tribute to William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury"?

If it is a reference to Faulkner, were you trying to make a particular correlation between the charaters/plot of the book and your own work?

Thanks for your time.
