Finally an A-Lister

My favorite author and favorite redhead together! I had uncovered titles with Magik, No Girl, and Quentin Quire, but I finally pulled an A-lister, Jean Grey, out of the forgotten box of books. Jean has died a few times, causing the X-Men at least as much grief as Addie Bundren caused her family. Darl Bundren having psychic powers suddenly makes a lot more sense though.

The same quotation can be found on the back cover of the Vintage edition of Faulkner’s novel, but with a curious omission. It shouldn’t surprise us the author of Invisible Man knew about mutants!
