>> took a shot at one another which doesn't necessarily mean a "feud," a rather strong word i find. if faulkner and hemingway had such a "feud" why would faulker say the following in his art of fiction interview: "If I had not existed, someone else would have written me, Hemingway, Dostoevsky, all of us." > This was far from the only feud.
