Question: Who was considered more popular, Louis L'Amour or William Faulkner?
Context: "That Evening Sun" is a short story by the American author William Faulkner, published in 1931 on the collection "These 13", which included Faulkner's most anthologized story, "A Rose for Emily".  The story was originally published, in a slightly different form, as "That Evening Sun Go Down" in "The American Mercury" in March of the same year.  "That Evening Sun" is a dark portrait of white Southerners' indifference to the crippling fears of one of their black employees, Nancy.  The story is narrated by Quentin Compson, one of Faulkner's most memorable characters, and concerns the reactions of him and his two siblings, Caddy and Jason, to an adult world that they do not fully understand.  The black washerwoman, Nancy Mannigoe, fears that her common-law husband Jesus is seeking to murder her because she is pregnant with a white man's child.  The title is thought to be taken from the song Saint Louis Blues, originally composed by W.C. Handy, but popularized by Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong in 1927.  Faulkner first came across Handy's music when the latter played dances in Oxford, Mississippi.  Though the song is never explicitly referenced in the text, Faulkner employs a number of blues tropes to structure the plot and develop racial stereotypes.  Scholar Ken Bennett notes that "the image of the 'evening sun' is a common one in black religious music.  For example, the spiritual 'It's Gettin' Late Over in the Evenin', the Sun Most Down,' based on Revelation 20, uses the image of the evening sun to suggest the coming of death and judgment." William Cuthbert Faulkner ( ; September 25, 1897 – July 6, 1962) was an American writer and Nobel Prize laureate from Oxford, Mississippi.  Faulkner wrote novels, short stories, a play, poetry, essays, and screenplays.  He is primarily known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi, where he spent most of his life. Louis Dearborn L'Amour ( ; March 22 1908 –June 10 1988) was an American novelist and short story writer.  His books consisted primarily of Western novels (though he called his work 'frontier stories'); however, he also wrote historical fiction ("The Walking Drum"), science fiction ("The Haunted Mesa"), non-fiction ("Frontier"), as well as poetry and short-story collections.  Many of his stories were made into films and John Wayne once made the dubious assertion that L'Amour was the most interesting man in the world.  L'Amour's books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings.  At the time of his death almost all of his 105 existing works (89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction) were still in print, and he was considered "one of the world's most popular writers". Yondering is a collection of short stories by American author Louis L'Amour, published in 1980.  A departure from L'Amour's traditional subject matter of the Old West, "Yondering" contains a mix of adventure stories and character studies, primarily set in the first half of the 20th century.  Two of them are set during the World War II era, with many of the stories drawing upon the author's own life experiences.  The book's publication celebrated the milestone of L'Amour having an estimated 100 million books in print at that time of publication. Rowan Oak, also known as William Faulkner House, is William Faulkner's former home in Oxford, Mississippi.  It is a primitive Greek Revival house built in the 1840s by Robert Sheegog.  Faulkner purchased the house when it was in disrepair in the 1930s and did many of the renovations himself.  Other renovations were done in the 1950s.  The house sits on 4 landscaped and twenty nine acres of largely wooded property known as Bailey's Woods.  One of its more famous features is the outline of Faulkner's Pulitzer Prize–winning novel "A Fable", penciled in graphite and red on the plaster wall of his study.  Though the "rowan oak" is a mythical tree, the grounds and surrounding woods of Rowan Oak contain hundreds of species of native Mississippi plants, most of which date back to antebellum times.  The alley of cedars that lines the driveway was common in the 19th century.  The studs of the house are 4"x4" square cypress, which were hand-hewn.  Faulkner drew much inspiration for his treatment of multi-layered Time from Rowan Oak, where past and future seemed to inhabit the present. Kipling Morgan, better known as Kip Morgan was a fictional character created by the bestselling author Louis L'Amour.  Morgan is a detective, like the hard-boiled detective characters created by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.  In L'Amour's words, "Kip Morgan is an ex-prizefighter struggling to make a new career himself as a private operator."  L'Amour wrote a few short stories featuring Morgan including "Dead Man's Trail", "With Death in His Corner" and "The Street of Lost Corpses".  Several of the stories make up the latter third of Vol.  6 of "The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour". The Sound and the Fury is a novel written by the American author William Faulkner.  It employs a number of narrative styles, including stream of consciousness.  Published in 1929, "The Sound and the Fury" was Faulkner's fourth novel, and was not immediately successful.  In 1931, however, when Faulkner's sixth novel, "Sanctuary", was published—a sensationalist story, which Faulkner later claimed was written only for money—"The Sound and the Fury" also became commercially successful, and Faulkner began to receive critical attention. Sanctuary is a novel by the American author William Faulkner about the rape and abduction of a well-bred Mississippi college girl, Temple Drake, during the Prohibition era.  It is considered one of his more controversial works, given its theme of rape.  First published in 1931, it was Faulkner's commercial and critical breakthrough, establishing his literary reputation.  It is said Faulkner claimed it was a "potboiler", written purely for profit, but this has been debated by scholars and Faulkner's own friends. Sartoris is a novel, first published in 1929, by the American author William Faulkner.  It portrays the decay of the Mississippi aristocracy following the social upheaval of the American Civil War.  The 1929 edition is an abridged version of Faulkner's original work.  The full text was published in 1973 as "Flags in the Dust".  Faulkner's great-grandfather William Clark Falkner, himself a colonel in the American Civil War, served as the model for Colonel John Sartoris.  Faulkner also fashioned other characters in the book on Collected Stories of William Faulkner is a short story collection by William Faulkner published by Random House in 1950.  It won the National Book Award for Fiction in 1951.  The publication of this collection of 42 stories was authorized and supervised by Faulkner himself, who came up with the themed section headings.
