As I get back into my writing routine my obligation to you, my loyal Planeteers, will not go unfulfilled. For the next couple weeks I will post a picture of a famous writer's typewriter (or facsimile) and ask you to connect the author to the machine.What? You monkeys want a prize? A few moments of entertainment aren't enough? You need a promise of financial gain before you'll engage the gray matter?
Then you fit right in.
So far we've had WH Auden's typewriter. Earlier today I put up another and I'll give you a few hints. He was an American novelist who also dabbled in screenplays, including one noir masterpiece.
Tomorrow, another writer, another typewriter.

Faulkner?
I was thinking of voting on Terrenoire for this one, but Ripley is probably more appropriate.
I hope you saw my link to Visual Typewriter on The Sword & The Quill. If not, check out http://www.nolad.com.
Didn't Faulkner write longhand? No, wait, that was Hemingway. Joyce, too.
My vote goes to Paul Guyot, who not only collects fancy watches, but also ancient typewriters. (Obviously a diseased mind.)
Cannell uses an IBM Selectric--several of them, in fact, all over his house. Updike also has typewriters in every room, from what I understand.
