Some friends of TS:

As a schoolboy, Terry was greatly inspired by E.A. Poe's mysterious novel,
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket
and re-wrote parts of the story to feature his classmates and teachers as charaters upon the Grampus.

Nelson Algren, an admirer of TS who taught Southern's short stories to inmates at a
correctional facility, once said:
"Southern is more 'Nathaniel Hawthorne' than Nathanael West",
to whom Norman Mailer once compared Terry
