I adore what he writes.

If you want to see Southern charm--Red Warren is irresistible. First of all, he's a most modest man.

So unusual in an author.

He is so darling. When he comes in, everybody is delighted to see Red Warren.

Do you think that his work will live?

All the King's Men will, certainly. I think it's a first-rate book.

Oh, I think it's a magnificent book.

And his poetry's damned good and his essays are damned good.

You wouldn't consider him a...

A top author?

Well, he's a top author to a certain extent, but he's not like Michener.
