Biography:
A small farmer, Quick also drives the "school-bus truck" (27) - a bus he made by customizing the body of a truck - that takes the children of Frenchman's Bend to school during the week and the people of Frenchman's Bend to town on Saturdays. He thinks he's learned a few tricks from President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration that will help him make a new deal for himself, but he has a challenging opponent in Res Grier.
Note:
In the fictions there are both "Lon Quick" (4 texts) and "Solon Quick" (3 texts, all later). These might be two different names for same character, and Brooks indexes 'him' that way, as 'QUICK, SOLON, 'LON.'" But others (Dasher, Kirk) separate them into two different characters with almost the same name, and that's what we have chosen to do too.
Faulkner moves Solon around in time, especially from AILD.
