Paper:
William Faulkner holds the record for writing the longest sentence in an American novel – 1,288 words (in Absalom, Absalom!, published in 1936).
When it comes to arts and entertainment, Mississippi is a land of legends.
And that gave us an idea.
What if we told all their stories together in one place? What if we could showcase the overwhelming impact of Mississippi's creative legacy to locals and visitors alike? What if we help ignite creativity in the artists of the future?
