Jim Doherty:
"Having not read either book, I'm wondering whether it's
possible that Chase was not deliberately ripping off
Faulkner. SANCTUARY was supposed to have been loosely based
on a real-life kidnapping case. Is it possible that Chase
simply heard about the same case and based his own novel on
it, independent of Faulkner's already having done so?"
Faulkner's novel was published as early as in 1931 and I
think it would be not possible for Chase not to have heard of
it in 1939 when his novel was published. Chase had at least
one charge of plagiarism later in life, so it's not
impossible that he purposefully ripped off Faulkner.
Was it so that Chase looked for a publisher for quite a few
years?
