Out of the Vault: The William Faulkner Issue

The Lost William Faulkner Issue — From The Strand Vault

A remarkable literary discovery—and a rare piece of publishing history.

This collectible issue of The Strand Magazine features the first publication of William Faulkner’s long-lost one-act play, “’Twixt Cup and Lip.” Written when the future Nobel Prize winner was still a young man, this witty Jazz Age comedy reveals a surprisingly playful and romantic side of the author of The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying.

Unseen for nearly a century, the play was discovered among Faulkner’s archived papers and brought to readers for the first time in the pages of The Strand.

Also included:

An exclusive interview with bestselling author Dean Koontz
An interview with legendary writer A. E. Hotchner
Original fiction by Alexander McCall Smith
A mystery by Inspector Montalbano creator Andrea Camilleri
New fiction by Lyndsay Faye
Reviews, articles, and more

A limited number of original copies have now been released from The Strand’s vault. Once these remaining copies are gone, this historic issue will no longer be available.

An essential collectible for admirers of William Faulkner, American literature, and lost literary treasures.
