#gowf

So I was doing a math assignment and whoever wrote it threw in a problem about a "gowf ball." Figuring it was a typo, I googled "gowf" on a whim to see if it was actually a word and lo and behold this article popped up. So apparently sco.wikipedia.org is a thing, it's written in Scots. and I can hardly believe my eyes. Look at that writing, it's glorious.

The Ghost of William Faulkner paid a special visitation to the staff of Wilson Library today to bestow upon us this gift of poetry, The Marble Faun (his first commercial book-length publication), in honor of his 118th birthday. 

Happy Birthday, William Faulkner!

While the staff is away, GoWF flouts the food and drink policy and throws his own phantom feast in the Grand Reading Room.

GoWF explores the new exhibit in the North Carolina Collection Gallery, "Where is Tobe? Unfolding Stories of Childhood, Race, and Rural Life in North Carolina." The exhibit includes audio and video of oral history interviews, accessible via a kiosk in the Gallery.

It’s only October, but tonight’s Late Night with Roy has GoWF already thinking about basketball season. His bounce pass could use a little work.
