In this speech by the great American author
William Faulkner
, he encourages young writers to write about the human spirit. Delivered in 1950, Faulkner acknowledges the crippling physical fear of nuclear war. He feels that humanity will prevail because our souls are immortal and the soul is what writers should be concerned with, and it is the soul which Faulkner set out to explore in his life's work.
